Asterisk

[jac3130]

You'll have to accept my apology as I know this is a very rudimentary question. However, as I'm a beginner, I must ask.

What do asterisks mean in Visual Basic? Are they necessary when writing a code? For instance, I saw this code example on a forum:

****Dim wk As Worksheet
****For Each wk In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
********wk.Activate
********'enter code here to perform
****Next wk

Are the asterisks just an element of the forum and not to be entered into the Visual Basic when writing the code?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I think they have been entered by the board software. You will need to remove them or the code won't compile.
