Something like: Code: Dim Songs as Map of cMediaFiles Dim Events as List of cCalendarEvents Then, if I tried to stuff, say, a filename in a string into the Songs map, the compiler would give an error. This syntax, of course, should be optional. Not only would it stop some unnecessary bugs, it would also make the code clearer by clearly stating "I intend this list to hold objects of this type!".
