Default Capitalization in Declarations

Mr. McGimplsey, Could this be the problem in the
12/22 "Tweek" thread? How do I hunt for the problem?
Thanks, Phil

It means you've declared a variable named "range". The

VBE will
override the type capitalization with the variable one.

In general, declaring a variable with a VBA keyword is a

bad idea,
not only for this reason, but because of the other

confusion it can
cause the reader.

My understanding is that in declaring variables, if the
data type is, say, "Range", with a capital "R", it is
recognized as a valid data type in VBA. If, when

typing
in the lower-case text the "r" does not capitalize,

does
this mean VBA does not recognize the Dim line
with "range" as a valid declaration? If so, what to do
about it?
Thanks, Phil
