Hi, I've always used the DIM statement as in :
DIM myvar AS Double
or similar. However, I have to work on a project abandoned by an ex-employee, and I see numerous uses of :
Dim myvar#
throughout the code. He's also used undeclared variables in subs such as :
Function Table5Back#(API60#, temp#, Table$)
I'm 'guessing' that the # indicates that the variable is numerical and the $ that it's a string, but I've not seen this usage before.
