    I just tried it and you are allowed to declare multiple items of the same type on the same line. That is what the code advisor appears to be telling you, but it does appear to work.

    I think you are OK with that one.

    I believe that in VB6 the code you provide will actually declare all but the last variable as a Variant, but in VB.NET they will all be Integers so, as Aspnot says, there should be no problem. Some people consider it bad practice to declare multiple variables on a single line, but that's a matter of personal preference. I think that may stem from the fact that VB6 did not behave as some may have expected, so VB.NET is an improvement there.

    Your right John. All the variables will be declared as Variant except the last one which will be Integer for VB 6.
