Ya with simpler progs all you need is Dim. Later on you will need to use the others. |

well  Just if you're going for efficiency or what not. Such as static will just save you memory and public/private sets level of access to that variable from other functions. |

alright then... dim is the basic declaration of the variable. You dont really have to declear variables in VB, IDE does that for you. But if you want to declear it, that's the method of choice. static is a constant. You assign it a value at declaraction and cannon change it later. An example would be something like value of pi. public/private is a variable modifier that sets its access level. Basically if the variable is private then it can be accessed from within the function it was decleared in. If it's public, then you can access that variable from other functions. |
