Symbolic Constants
This is also sometimes referred to as just a constant.
To define or declare a symbolic constant use the keyword Const.
Note that string constants are enclosed in double quotes "string".
In this case every instance of the variable sFOLDERPATH is replaced with the string "C:\Temp\".
sFOLDERPATH is a constant since it never changes but it is not a literal constant since it is not used anywhere.
The advantage of using symbolic constants is that if you decide to change the value at a later date you only need to change the definition of the variable sFOLDERPATH rather than searching and replacing all occurrences of the old string.
