Dear All, Is # a keyword in VB. If it is then wot is its significance? ____________________________________________________________ rishabhs I think therefore I am.

Tends to be used (in VB6 at least) in the following: Open "C:\SomeFile" for Input as #1 May be other uses, but not seen them myself... "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......" Christian Graus At The Soapbox

Yes, you could call it a reserved word. The '#' character has the following uses: As a Double type specifier. These two statements are identical:

Dim myDbl As Double
Dim myDbl#

and this will denote the number should be treated as a Double:

myDbl = 123.45#

As the prefix to a compiler directive:

#Const Version = "1.0"
#Region "This is a Region directive"
#EndRegion
