The values of properties are actually Variants which means it can represent
many different types. You define the type implicitly by the type of input
value used in the assignment. Here's a modified version of the portion of
your code where you're creating the properties. The "Finish" property will
be a Yes/No since I'm setting it using a Boolean value. The "Sub No." will
be a number because I'm setting it with a number. I could also use a
variable that is Integer, Long, or Double type to create a number property.
The "RSP" property will be a date because it is set using a date value.
' Re-add Properties Example
Set oPropNew = oProp4.Add(True, "Finish")
Set oPropNew = oProp4.Add("", "MAT'L CODE")
Set oPropNew = oProp4.Add("", "MATERIAL")
Set oPropNew = oProp4.Add(0, "SUB NO.")
Set oPropNew = oProp4.Add("", "MFG CODE")
Set oPropNew = oProp4.Add(Now, "RSP")
