You are partially correct. For all String functions (Dir, Mid, Format,
etc.), if you include the $ sign at the end of the function name, that
function will return a value of type String. However, if you don't include
the $ sign, the function will return a Variant with a sub-type of String.
The only time including the $ sign will really matter is if you use the
String function in a very large loop... Variants take up more memory (which
probably won't matter if you are assigning the output to a variable declared
as a String) and are slower to work with, so (in a large loop) the this
slowness will become measurable.
