Rick:

In the VBE, display the Edit toolbar.

On the Edit toolbar you'll find the Comment Block button which does exactly
what you want. (There's also an Uncommend Block for later.)

Hi Rick

Select all the lines of text you want to comment and click the "Comment
Block" button on the Edit menu.

For what it's worth, I always customize the Edit Menu so as to display the
text as well as the icons, and then change the captions to &Comment Block
and &Uncomment Block. Then, I can select the relevant lines and do Alt-c and
Alt-u.

Hope this helps.
