Can't you use either '&' or '+' in string concatenation?  I know you can do
so in Excel formulae, and I thought it was also the case in VBA.  (I prefer
the ampersand, as it immediately tells me I was working with strings when I
wrote the code eight months ago.)

But I could be wrong.  It's happened a couple of times.
