Answer 2

Very similar to this question on VB6 data types. Here are some options from the VB6 manual topic on data types

• Long (long integer) 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
• Single (single-precision floating-point) 4 bytes -3.402823E38 to -1.401298E-45 for negative values; 1.401298E-45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values. About 6 or 7 significant figures accuracy.
• Double (double-precision floating-point) 8 bytes -1.79769313486231E308 to -4.94065645841247E-324 for negative values; 4.94065645841247E-324 to 1.79769313486232E308 for positive values. About 15 or 16 significant figures accuracy.
• Currency (scaled integer) 8 bytes -922,337,203,685,477.5808 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807
• Decimal 14 bytes +/-79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 with no decimal point; +/-7.9228162514264337593543950335 with 28 places to the right of the decimal; smallest non-zero number is +/-0.0000000000000000000000000001

I wish I could put this in a table!
