You cannot assign a value to a variable you are declaring in VB6, UNLESS it is a constant

' BAD
Dim i as Integer = 1

' GOOD
Dim i As Integer
Const i As Integer = 1

The VB6 compiler does not let you declare and initialise a variable in one line (like you can in VB.NET).

So you have to declare it on one line and initialise it on another:

Dim i As Integer
i = 1

If you want to have both statement on the same line you can use a colon:

Dim i As Integer : i = 1

But you can only do this inside a procedure and not in a module, form or class declaration

dim i as integer
i=1

You need to split declaring a variable and assigning its value.
