Take a look at this article from Mike Wolfe at No Longer Set.

Block Comment Shortcut Keys

I don't understand. How is this different than the default "COMMENT BLOCK" / "UNCOMMENT BLOCK" buttons in the IDE? These appear in the "Edit" cluster which I generally dock at the top edge of the code window. No doubt there's something I'm not grasping, but it could be helpful to learn.

Gregory, you are correct. I had not added the Edit toolbar to my VBA menu, and could have just done that. I appreciate the reference Kevin sent, since it gives me the additional keyboard shortcuts. Like Richard, I am all about sticking to the keyboard. I will utilize most any method that helps me avoid moving a hand from the keyboard to the mouse.

You're welcome, Mike. In the course of typical software usage, If I know of a KB shortcut these will always be my instinctive resort; so, I will likely also see what the "nonmouse" alternative will do for me. I half think that I predate the very invention of "the mouse", and so hands-on-the-home-row is natural - like maintaining a firm grip on an airplane's yoke while gliding in for a landing.

Kevin: I was gonna mention Mike's article too. :)

Personally I usually don't write more than one or two line comments so I don't mind just sticking that single quote in front of the line but I'm just so used to single quote down arrow single quote down arrow single quote down arrow... Been doing it my whole life and it's not going to change. LOL.

But yes I wish VBA offered block quote characters like C:

/*
   hail to the king
   baby
*/

or even ASP:

<%
   it's a trick
   get an axe
%>
