Variable

Hi David

Thanks for your question

A variable is an area of memory used to store a piece of data.

When a value is passed to a procedure, either via keyboard or as the result of a calculation, it must be stored in a variable. Before passing a value to a variable it is essential that the variable is first "declared". At this point the type of data that the variable will accept is also specified, e.g.

 Dim MyVariable as string"
