You can use above syntax in VB without any doubt. As the first operand is string.
If you use,
ab = 'Hi Friends'
cd = 12
if you use
ab + cd ----> No problem .
ab & cd ----> No problem, Preferable for string concatenation.
If by chance AB gets a numeric value (say 23) , then
ab + cd ----> 25, not '1223'
ab & cd ----> '1223' as you want.
Very simple, if you think.
