Hi Guys. I just started learning the ropes on VB with VB Express 2005 and ive got a few kinks to iron out. I will be needing a lot of help and will appreciate tips from anyone who knows. I would like to know what 'Dim'  means and what it does in VB code. Thanks lots.

Dim is a declaration of a variable

eg. dim x as Integer

x is like a container that can hold any number (integer) now

so you can assing numbers to it

eg. x= 10

and then perform operations to it.

x = x+3  (equates to x=10 +3)

Btw. Your are probably better off looking at tutorials on the web rather than asking every basic question on forums.
