You have two choices, either Option Explicit or Option Compare. The Option Compare would be used if you wanted to do comparions, for example, between strings:

"AAAA" = "aaaa" would be false
"AbCd" = "AbCd" would be true

Option Explict can be set to add it self to everymodule when it is created. Higly reccomened as it stops a lot of silly mistakes.

from help

Require Variable Declaration — Determines whether explicit variable declarations are required in modules. Selecting this adds the Option Explicit statement to general declarations in any new module.
