Hi!

I don't know, probably yes.

Well, thats not far from reality - to declare all variables in VFP you require to type really fast! ;)

Regular variables will require to be declared that way, however, there are no type-checking in run-time, that means you still can assign numeric value to a character-declared variable. In VB types are well-controlled.
