No. I use it extensively too.
Here is the result of my thought:
- You can know the datatype of a variant with the TypeOf() function. You don't
have to use the current IsXXXX() functions.
- But you often need to know if a string can be converted to a number, an
integer, a float, a date.
- You normally want to know that for localized strings get from the outside
(i.e. the user). For non-localized strings, they are intern to your program,
so you should know what you are doing.
So:
IsNull(x) -> kept its behaviour.
IsInteger(x) -> If Val(x) returns an integer
IsFloat(x) -> If Val(x) returns a float
IsDate(x) -> If Val(x) returns a date
They should be enough. But I could add:
IsLong(x) -> If Val(x) returns a Long
IsSingle(x) -> If Single(x) returns a Single.
