Actually, I would and I have. It's too confusing to maintain down the
road otherwise.

Oh come on, that's not true. You can't possibly say that when you have
to work on someone else's code, that if someone used 'strStatus' to
represent a variant, which is going to be a string in all cases except
when it's Null, that you would go and rename it everywhere.
I think there is WAY too much fuss about this.

I think the point is that in VBA you would normally use type specific
prefixes, whatever you may do in ASP. I'm glad you have to maintain
your code. It would drive me nuts and I'd wind up renaming everything!

But why would you change your coding style in a scripted language? In
ASP, I still use int and str as prefixes, even though everything is a
variant.
Along those lines, I use int for ALL integers, mainly because I only use
an Integer type when absolutely necessary (if an API requires it...etc.

ASP is a different animal though isn't it? Scripted code versus
compiled and all that. Reddick naming conventions specify using "var"
prefix for variants although we use "v" here (or "var"). Seems
dangerous not specifying the actual data type in your VB/VBA code.
My 2 cents,

Do you write ASP pages? If so, do you prefix all of your variables with
var?

I don't get it...how do you ever know what the datatype is?? How do you
know
when an 'str' is really a string and when it will accept a form
reference. How about overflows? If you follow that logic, what looks
like a long, may be an integer. I suppose you can do whatever you want,
but if the logic is "I may need to have something else here but I want a
string"...then why not (as I believe William suggested) make them all
variant and leave off the datatype
'convention' (not).
