CRITICAL
Rule Definition
Avoid variants when possible. They are slow, and they consume memory. If you use variant instead of, say, integer you waste 14 bytes of memory. This can be significant in a large project. Integers are much faster than variants. This is true particularly in For..Next loops
Also if you plan to upgrade to VB.NET, variant are not supported.
