Note(*): The LongLong is only available in 64-bit VBA.
Note: The Variant data type can hold any of the above types as
subtypes of the Variant, including Strings, pointers and
error values.
Note: it is also possible
to store an integer as digits in the String data type:
2^16 characters is the length limit for a fixed-length string.
2^31 characters is the length limit for a variable-length string.
