Declarations 2

[pdldavis]

Hi I have a question about declarations.

I understood this:

Dim eAR, eCI, eCN, eEL, eME, eST As Long

to mean all these items are delcared long.

I was told that actually eST is the only one declared as long and the preceeding four are variants written out this way.

The correct way to do this would be:

Dim eAR As Long, eCI As Long, eCN As Long, eEL As Long, eME As Long, eST As Long

Is this correct?

Thanks, Dan

Yes - directly from the help file included with Access:

' Multiple declarations on a single line. AnotherVar is of type Variant
' because its type is omitted.
Dim AnotherVar, Choice As Boolean, BirthDate As Date

A simple test on your part would confirm that - try setting eAR to "A string" - that would definitely show it is not a long.
