The IsAutomation method determines whether the variant contains an Automation variable and stores the return value in the varResult variable. In this case, the variant contains an Automation variable so Yes is returned and displayed in a message box. The IsCode Method (Variant) determines whether the variant contains a code variable. The return value is No because the variant does not contain a code.
