SIMPLE QUESTION: How to declare a variable and assign a value

[mike777]

Is it possible in VB to say (the equivalent of):

Dim x as Integer=5

,
so that x will simultaneously be declared as an integer and be assigned an initial value of 5?
I need to do this at the module level.
Many thanks.

Mike: I tried and it would even compile LOL (but then we all know the kind of day I'VE had)

You can try Set variableX = 5, but that will make an assumption about the data type, if that's OK.

Ignore me. That won't work. I better get some rest now.
