I am using Microsoft Office Excel 2003(11.8328.8329) SP3.
I like to type variables as tightly as possible.

I am building some code which is going to loop through Sheets.
To that end, I start with "For Each S in Sheets
Next S"

I start by declaring S with "Dim S" as I do not know its type.

View/Locals Window shows the type of S as Variant/Object/Sheet1.
When I replace the declaration of S with Dim S as Sheet1,
Foe Each S in Sheets gets a "Run-time error '13':" which is a "Type
Mismatch". The "best" I can do is "Dim S as Object".

When I look at the "For Each...Next Statement" help, I read
"element Required. Variable used to iterate through the elements of the
collection or array. For collections, element can only be a Variant
variable, a generic object variable, or any specific object variable.
...."

What is the definition of "specific object variable" and why does "Dim S
as Sheet1" not produce one of the right type?
I hope someone will quote from as authoritative a URL as possible.
Thanks.
