I’ve cut and pasted code around and the line numbers are now out of sequence, does this matter ?
|
|
|
A

No, VB just requires that line numbers within a procedure (sub or function) are unique and not too large. The largest line number possible is the maximum value of a 4 byte number (approximately 2,147,000,000). VB generates an error during compilation if it finds a non unique error within a procedure (“Duplicate declaration in current scope”). For neatness you can, if you wish, reorder line numbers by removing and re-adding them with AutoNumber
