Newbie!!!

I am a newbie
I would like to know more alot more about interger, string, dim, long, () and just all the diffrent stuff
anything would be a big help thanks

You should look in your copy of MSDN and/or buy yourself a book. :)

I have a book but still i just wanted you guys to clear up what each of them are too see if i have it right and also my MSDN libary doesnt work for some reason

well those are different data types, while DIM is the keyword used for declaring the variables.

() are used when declaring a dynamic array.

Also, one can use ReDim, to re declare a dynamic array at runtime, and ReDim Preserve, to preserve its contencts

take a look

Dim TempArray() as string
Dim Cnt as Integer

Redim TempArray(1 to 5) 'Declare an array from 1 to 5
TempArray(1) = "Testing" 'set pos 1 to testing
Debug.Print TempArray(1) 'print its value
Redim TempArray(1 to 10) 'redimension it
Debug.Print TempArray(1) 'its now empty
TempArray(1) = "Testing" 'enter testing again
ReDim Preserve TempArray(1 to 10) 'redimension and preserve
Debug.Print TempArray(1) 'its still there



hope its some help. I recommend you get a tutorial or somethings. This forum is a priceless resource for learning

Integer holds integers (about +/- 30000)
Long holds big integers (2 billion and up)
String holds text.
Dim defines a variable (Dim X As String).
() could mean anything, but is probably used for dynamic arrays, or subroutines/functions with no arguments.

ok thanks both of you i have learnt alittle more i hope to make a program soon

If you have a legal copy of VB6, i'd suggest contacting microsoft for support, so you can get MSDN to work. Its a great help.

Otherwise, its online as well. www.msdn.com
