I use that feature myself. Sometimes, I even remember to hit Ctrl+<space> before I've typed AllThatLongVariableName and let intellisense plug the name in for me (of course, I type it as allthatlongvariablename). |
worn out back space key so ...

The default, since the beginning of Access / and classic VB has always been "variant" and each variable name without its own "AS clause" has defaulted to "variant". |
one line (it's too hard to read), but I could swear I'd seen sample
code that used it. But in going through all the code I have, I don't
see any of it doing it wrong.
I guess I must misperceived what was being suggested -- I'm glad I
didn't like it, or I would have written a lot of bad code over the
years (though surely I would have realized there were problems the
first time I assumed an unitialized variable was a 0 and it turned
out to be empty).

As someone pointed out, it works in compilers for some other languages -- perhaps that's where you saw it. I'm thinking that maybe it even worked in Borland Turbo Basic, but it's been a long time since I used that one. |

languages at all (I've only used Paradox's PAL, which had no
variable typing, at least at the time I used it, PHP, which doesn't
type variables, and VBScript, which doesn't type variables).

misinterpreted what someone wrote than it is that someone suggested
doing it wrong.
