You got it.  &H is for hexadecimal.  The % I believe is for long integer's.

<div>
% is for Integer<br />
&amp;&nbsp;is for Long<br />
$ is for string<br />
# is for Double<br />
! is for single<br />

</div>


% is for Integer
& is for Long
$ is for string
# is for Double
! is for single

Thanks TimCottee, that part of the question is clear for me now.<br />
<br />
jmwheeler: for the &amp;H, &amp;D etc, it stands for hexadecimal and decimal etc.. But I need some kind of explanation or a nice example.<br />
<br />
Tim is going to be rewarded with half of the points for trailing sings.

Hi,<br />
<br />
As I'm broadening my VB knowledge, I came across things like this a couple of times:<br />
Private Const GENERIC_READ = &amp;H80000000<br />
<br />
this is usually used with API calls it seems<br />
<br />
<br />
and things like this:<br />
For i%=0 to 100<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Array(i%) = &quot;Lipsum&quot;<br />
Next i%<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I suppose the first has something to do with hexadecimals. Just a wild guess, but I'd like to know more about that.<br />
The second one is a puzzler. I used it a couple of times myself, to dynamically create control arrays, but what it means... You got me.<br />

Constants with &amp; prefix and variables with % trailer

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.
