before you use them.

To add Option Explicit to your DHTML Page Designer pages:

1. Right-click on DHTML page in the Visual Basic Project window.

2. Select View Code from the pop-up menu.

3. Insert the text "Option Explicit" as the very first line.

4. Repeat this process for all DHTML pages in the project and every time you
  create a new DHTML page.
