Can some give me reason for this

[syedshaffee]

Hey people,

I have a line of code which is Wrong I want to Known the reason Why it is so

private dim a as integer

I Known we can use only one of this for defining a variable.

What is the reason for that why can't we use both in vb

Please help on this guys......?

You need to provide more context.
If this line is in the declarations section of the module then the DIM is implied, remove it.
Private will restrict the scope of the variable to the calling module.

As for why one is allowed or not allowed in VBA vs VB... that is an impossible to answer question in that you'd have to understand the minds of the developers.

Thank u For a your reply

Yup... you got to choose

dim a as integer

in procedure declaration level
or

private a as integer

in module level declaration level if you would like to use this within all procedures in the module where it is declared.
