Yeah. I can't remember how many times I forgot and wrote a function that took "string as String".

The only thing nastier than looking at code like that is having to put it right by temporarily naming variants after existing types!

Dim String

Dim Range

Dim Excel

Dim ThisSoCalledFixIsTheRealWTF

Dim TheGogglesTheyDoNothing

A co-worker of mine had to do something like this to trick Access into using numeric comparison in a complicated query. We never did figure out why it thought the expression was a string.
