$ is usually to any variable/function that deals with a string.<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
Dim MyString$<br />
MyString$ = &quot;Hello World!&quot;<br />
<br />
At least that's how it was in QBasic -- I never tried that line in VB; don't use it.<br />
What I'm sure of is the functions, like<br />
<br />
Chr$(65) -- this returns the character whose number is 65, which is &quot;A&quot;<br />
Mid$(&quot;Possession&quot;, 1, 7) -- this returns the string &quot;Possess&quot;<br />
Left$(), Right$(), etc...<br />
<br />
You can actually omit it -- like Chr(65) is fine. But I once read that using the $ sign makes it faster, somehow.

type characters in vb6

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
