Pointlessly provocative subject line edited. Since all three lines are constants know by the programmer at the time the source code is written, it should be written as: sSQL = """line 1 line 2 line 3""" Or if you prefer: sSQL = "line 1\nline 2\nline 3" Or even: sSQL = ("line 1\n" "line 2\n" "line 3") taking advantage of Python's compile-time implicit concatenation of string constants. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
