Very similar to this question on VB6 data types. Here are some options from the VB6 manual topic on data types
| Type | Description | Size | Min | Max | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long | Long Integer | 4 bytes | -2,147,483,648 | 2,147,483,647 | |
| Single | Single-precision floating-point | 4 bytes | -3.402823E38 (negative values) 1.401298E-45 (positive values) |
-1.401298E-45 (negative values) 3.402823E38 (positive values) |
About 6 or 7 significant figures accuracy. |
| Double | Double-precision floating-point | 8 bytes | -1.79769313486231E308 (negative values) 4.94065645841247E-324 (positive values) |
-4.94065645841247E-324 (negative values) 1.79769313486232E308 (positive values) |
About 15 or 16 significant figures accuracy. |
| Currency | Scaled integer | 8 bytes | -922,337,203,685,477.5808 | 922,337,203,685,477.5807 | |
| Decimal | 14 bytes | +/- 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 (no decimal point) |
+/- 7.9228162514264337593543950335 (with 28 places to the right of the decimal) |
Smallest non-zero number is +/-0.0000000000000000000000000001 |

The Currency data type.
It is 8 bytes and supports values in the range -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807.
