DIM variables
Bruce Reynolds 
    
14 years ago
In the private sub Command15_Click(), how come you did not use the dim statment to define the data type for the R variable for the line:
R = inputbox("The balance due on this...)

Is the default data type for the inputbox a variant data type?


Reply from Richard Rost:

Bad habit. You don't HAVE to DIM all your variables, but you should. Yes, if you don't DIM them, you end up with a variant, but VB is pretty good at realizing what kind of data you're working with. It's not like C/C++ where you have to DIM everything. That's what that "option explicit" statement does.
