When editing a line source code sometimes you need to move to another line to copy or make changes there. By default a horrible MessageBox appears telling you that the line you were editing has incorrect syntax. You can prevent this by entering in: Tools > Options ...and unselect "Auto Syntax Check" The incomplete line still turns red but the annoying box is now gone!

I've been coding in VB for years and thought that by unchecking that box the syntax error would not show up in red (which I like) so I left it checked even though I hate that messagebox. Now I don't have that gall durn box! Bless you!

I'm sorry to say. . but all of you are not that smart. .. . rule : if you have new software, ALWAYS check and test the config/setup! I found the checkbox mentioned above in 1 minute. . . right after the first time I got that anoying warning !

Thanks for posting this. So simple, and yet such an improvement. I too have been coding for years, and just thought the annoying box was the price one paid for syntax highlighting.

and add to that if you dont eve want the line to turn red goto options..... then select the tab editor..... then there should be a list.... select "Error Syntax Text" then set the color to the color of your regular code color do that and John's thing and youll never see anything that says an error (note when doing this..... you may not know an error happened....) this peice of code i posted is NOT and i repeat NOT recommended for newbies who have lots of errors.... because then they dont know they have an error and there app crashes

The tip was aimed at people who didn't know it. If you did, well done - here's a gold star. If, like myself, you didn't this tip is simple, but oh so useful. Thanks a lot!

I am obviously one of the only people that noticed this, besides a few but: very short paragraph has earned 25 excelents when not only did this person barely do any work, but they also wrote something that could be found in the manual (RTFM). God! This comment is probably more informative, but do i get 25 excelent ratings. No. REBELION!
