It forces you to declare every variable you use in that module.
You should use it in every module that you have. When this doesn't work like it should myCtr1 = myCtrl + 1 (one of those has an ELL and one has a ONE) It really makes debugging easier.

First, you should ALWAYS use it.
What it does it is to force you to explicitly declare your variables. If you fail to declare them, then you will get a compilation error. The advantage of using it is that you won't then make the mistake of mis-spelling (even slightly) variable names deep in the code, as the compiler will flag it. You can use the VB IDE to help you by automatically installing this line in your modules. To do this, in the VB IDE, go to ToolsOptionsEditor, and check the 'Require Variable Declaration' checkbox. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Piranha" wrote in message ...
