What is option explicit?

VBA - Option Explicit

Hi Alix

Option Explicit forces the user to make explicit declaration of all variables in a file using the Dim or ReDim statements.

If you attempt to use an undeclared variable name, an error occurs at compile time.

If used, the Option Explicit statement must appear in a the code before any other code statements.

Use Option Explicit to avoid incorrectly typing the name of an existing variable or to avoid confusion in code where the scope of the variable is not clear.

If you do not use the Option Explicit statement, all undeclared variables are of Object type.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
