There's nothing actually wrong with it as long as you're sure to stay 
within the block, but I don't use it because I tend to avoid VB's 
implicit helpfulness. (-:

I admit to being a little outside the mainstream in this regard. In 
addition to explicit typing, and never using default properties, I also 
always specify both array bounds, and use a lot of explicit type 
conversions like CLng() etc. If I can specify it, I do.

I spend so little time typing compared to time debugging that I don't 
see how, in the long run, there's any pain attached to being explicit, 
whether with "Dim" or in those other areas. It makes the intent clear, 
shows that you know what's happening under the hood, and adds no 
runtime overhead.
