Re: Add new col event?

It's a directive to the compiler that you will be declaring all the variables
you use.

If you don't declare your variables and don't have that directive turned on, you
could spend hours trying to find out why:

Ctr1 = ctrl + 1

doesn't work the way you thought it should.

(one of those is ctr-one and one is ctr-ELL).

With "Option explicit", the compiler will notice that one of those variables
isn't defined and yell at you right away.

It may seem like more work to start, but it saves time in the long run.
