But, this works.
private sub ShowSomeConstants()
        dim aStrings As Variant

        aStrings=Array( _
                "vbOKOnly = " & vbOKOnly, _
                "vbInformation = " & vbInformation _
                )
        MsgBox Join(aStrings, vbCrLf)
end sub

No syntax error(s), even if I let the system define vbOKOnly and 
vbInformation.
