It will compile Bill, but I don't like it J
I never use multiple statements with an Else. I used to be very 'correct' with no else and code it like
If suit = spades Then
MsgBox "I win!"
End If
But I admit I prefer single lines and that is what I use now (does cause some small problems when trying to check back on multiple nested Ifs when there is one without an End If, but nesting usually helps here).
BTW, typing endif and getting End If is great in my view, I always do it and love that VBA corrects it (in the same way that I never type my variables in the define came-case, I type them lower-case and if they don't get corrected I know I have typed it incorrectly – we need all the help we can get), but I just wish it would work with endwith as well!

Bob - It's a non-nonsensical example made worse by being syntactically incorrect to start with.But my example is correct and will compile as it should.
While multiple statement lines are out of the ordinary, they are used from time to time. It's a matter of style. I tend to use them in If blocks if the Else line is short. Offhand, I can't think of any other place I'd use them.
Then there is the one-line If statement:
If suit = spades Then MsgBox "I win!"
No End If needed.
Another funny thing about VBA, you can type endif and the editor will fix it for you.

Surely, it should be
If 1 > 4 Then
MsgBox "1 is greater than 4"
Else
MsgBox "1 is less than 4"
End If
Or even
MsgBox "1 is " & IIf(1 > 4, "greater", "less") & " than 4"
Multiple statement lines just don't feel right to me.

As per Duane's explanation, the code should have been written:
If 1 > 4 Then
MsgBox "1 is greater than 4"
Else: MsgBox "1 is less than 4"
End If

I found this while searching the web http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7649101/excel-vba-pound-and-colon-signs-meaning
"The colon (:) is a statement delimiter. It would be equivalent to a new line in VBA, or a semicolon in C (just to quote a random example). It allows you to write several instructions on a single line rather than going to a new line each time."
Since your example code has not instruction on the same line after the ":" it serves no purpose.

Hello
I am trying to understand the "ELSE:". Why is the colon necessary? What does it do there?
Thank you
Phucon
Sub IF_ELSEIF_FUNCTION()
If 1 > 4 Then
MsgBox "1 is greater than 4"
Else:
MsgBox "1 is less than 4"
End If
End Sub
