I'd like to know what you expected exactly from that code, and what you think 
the error message should be!

For information, the previous code is equivalent to:

Dim ii As Integer
Dim jj As Integer

For ii = 9 To 0 Step -1
  jj = CInt(CStr(jj) & CStr(ii))
Next

The error message comes from CInt(). When its argument cannot be converted to 
an integer, it just says that there is a type mismatch (you forgot to tell 
that) and that its argument is not an integer.
