Declaring a Variable 2

[iamedwardkim]

How can one declare a variable so that it is accessible from several subroutines?

Basically I have several subroutines which respond to different events (e.g. mouse clicks). I need to be able to access the same variable from all of these subroutines.

Thank you.

Hi,

In the area where you open or create tables/forms/reports, you have Modules.

Open a new module and define your var in there.

A module defined variable is accesible from all objects within the whole application.

You must also declare the variable as PUBLIC. For example,

Instead of:
Dim strTemp As String

It should be:
Public strTemp as String

In every database I create, I create one module (basPublicDeclarations) that contains the definitions of all my global (Public) variables.
