Does anyone have (or know where I can locate) the list of VBA data types and
their descriptions? Really what I need is just this:

Data Type Name
Possible Values (and decimal accuracy)
Memory Usage

I've been looking on MSDN and I can't seem to find it. I need it primarily
for Office 2003, but I'd like one for Office 97 if it can be found.

Thanks.

Hmm...they have the Internet on COMPUTERS now!

Look up "Data Type Summary" in visual basic help in the VBE.

It hasn't changed since xl97 - xl2003

Look at 'Type Conversion Functions' in VBA Help, this lists them all.

Thanks Gary. For some reason, the VBA help doesn't work on my machine.
