declaration of variable problem

[vb_student]

Hello

I am having a problem with the following code

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL,numslotsDLTx As Integer

the code throws up an error saying that

Compiel error:
byref argument type mismatch

and the only way to correct it is by writing the definitions as

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL As Integer
Dim numslotsDLTx As Integer

what is the wrong with the first version of my code, i.e.

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL,numslotsDLTx As Integer

First off, the second way is always prefereble IMO. It is much clearer.

However, if you really really want to declare more than one variable on a single line (which drives me buggy ), then do

Dim intVar As Integer, intVar1 As Integer, intVar2 As Integer

Etcetera

[schoolbusdriver]

Dim numAvailableSlotsDL, numslotsDLTx As Integer

If I remember correctly, VB interprets the first variable as a variant because the type isn't specified.

Your memory serves you well schoolbusdriver

If I remember correctly, VB interprets the first variable as a variant because the type isn't specified.

Aside from the fact that I think declaring each variable individually, on a separate line, makes for far more clarity, this is another reason why I don't line mulitple variables declarations stretched out across one, single, line.
