Yup, all the compound assignment functions in C/C++ use a similar
form;

a {operator}= b
a = a {operator} b

MM has already asked and received several questions/answers here about
the VB app that he is developing, and mentioned that he is converting
C source to VB for some of it, so I see no reason not to answer the
question about conversion from C to VB here.

Would seem a bit cruel to force him to a C group to ask an elementary
syntax question which most Cers would either ignore or take the mickey
out of him if he mentioned that he was converting to VB
Classic...those C guys can be cruel about our little, old VB :)

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Why? It was a perfectly legitimate VB question.
