Being relatively new to VB (previous experience in PowerBasic and C/C++) I was wondering why certain data types are not supported, such as Word, DWord, Quad Integer, Extended Precision, etc.

Are there any current work-arounds which will allow for the same (or similar) functionality?

Lastly, are future releases of VB slated to incorporate these additional data types?

Any and all help/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.
