EmpSalary (integer:EmpSalary)

Design

If EmpName is “” Then
Display “Please Re-Enter Employee Name”

End EmpName Module

EmpSalary Module

End EmpSalary Module

Average Salary Module

dim statement is used to decalre one or more variables in vb.
one suggestion :
Never use of space in Identifiers.Its against the naming rules.
