title: VB/VBA Variable Declaration Coding Standard - White Space
body: <p>What is the significance of declaring variables in VB/VBA like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private m_sName         As String
  Private m_lAge          As Long
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As opposed to;</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private m_sName As String
  Private m_lAge As Long
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am working on a project which up to now uses the latter, and has done since long before I joined the project.  Two new developers have joined the team and have begun to use the former.  I have seen such pagination previously and wondered; what is its heritage and what advantages/disadvantages does it have?  My own preference has always been the latter and remains so, as much for consistency as anything else.</p>
