%

I have been looking at someones's code where he has

Dim intCount As Integer

but in the code uses

intCount% = ....

What's the significance of using '%' as the code works with or without the '%'.

 

[ecawilkinson]

you can define a variable as an integer in 2 ways:

dim var as integer
'or
dim var%

in this case, if intcount has already been defined by "Dim intcount as integer", then I suspect that % is not needed. BTW, $ signifies string, # signifies double, & signfies long, ! means single.

HTH,
