Hi Aloah,

please look for "Dollar Sign Expansions" and Variable in QV Help-File (Index or Search).

Hope the explanation helps to understand the difference.

Hi,

I tried but I still didn't get it. Help file says that using a variable always starts with '$' ( and ends with ')'

Hi,

=Variable will be used when you have the value of variable. =$(Variable) is used when there is expression to calculate variable.

e.g .-

Set vDay = '5/28/2009';

Set vDay$ = Today();

Now , to use vDay , =vDay will be used and to use vDay$ , =$(vDay$) will be used.
