I was waiting for that :) Yes, of course you're right, and in practice,
this is why I always use Option Explicit. Saved me many an hour in
debug time. However, the point remains that I can return a record from
a database of type integer in a manner like this:
dim myInt
myInt = rs("integerValue")
and do a comparison as such (this pisses me off too[1]):
if myInt = 9 then
do fancy stuff
end if
I can still, seemingly randomly, get a type mismatch error.

[1] having the same operator for assignment and comparison is dumb.
