Hi all,

How do I declare a "long integer" in VB6.

I want to read the autonumbers in an Access-table.

Long Data Type

Long (long integer) variables are stored as signed 32-bit (4-byte) numbers ranging in value from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. The type-declaration character for Long is the ampersand (&).

No it's not.

You ask how to declare, not how to convert.

Anyways, the CInt will not convert to a Long integer, but to a "Short" Integer.
There is a difference in the maximum possible number that can be converted (about 32,000).
