String or String * 1

[agmorgan]

Is there a performance benefit for defining a string as String * 1 if you know that you are only going to have 1 char in it?

I notice in this post http://www.vbforums.com/showpost.php...21&postcount=4 that Hack does

Dim EachCharacter As String * 1

rather than

Dim EachCharacter As String
