Say you're designing an application that needs to store and item's name and it's price. What are the appropriate dim statements to create the neccessary variables? Anyone know?

Its been a while, but I think you could just do

DIM variablenamehere as String??

*My edit

If you were to set up each variable to be strictly numeric/alphabetic, for numeric, just do

Dim variablename as single/double (whichever fits your need, if its a price, single might be sufficient, might not, think it only goes up to 32,000 something)

And for the alphabetic, just use the "as String" I think

Could be off though

You would probably want to create a user-defined data type (struct) to hold
the things, and then create an array of those...

Type Item
Dim name as String * fieldlength
Dim price as Currency
End Type

Dim inventory (0 to 100) As Item

inventory(0).name = "Rubber Shoes"
inventory(0).price = "9.99"
...
