HI, I HAVE A PUBLIC VARIABLE ON A

[aqm]

HI,
I HAVE A PUBLIC VARIABLE ON A MODULE AND I GIVE A VALUE TO THE VARIABLE ON THE FIRST FORM, WHEN I OPEN THE SECOND FORM, I CLOSE THE FIRST FORM, AFTER THIS THE VARIABLE GOES NULL. I HAVE THREE FORMS. OPN THE FIRST FORM, I ATRIBUTE A VALUE TO A VARIABLE WHICH WAS DECLARED AS PUBLIC ON THE MODULE. WHEN I OPEN THE SECOND FORM, I CLOSE THE FIRST AND I USE THE VARIABLE WITYH ITS CONTENTS NORMALLY.WHEN I OPEN THE THIRD FORM, I FIND THAT THE VARIABLE IS NULL. I HAVE ALREADY MADE A TEST BY LEAVING THE FIRST FORM OPEN. IT WORKS. NOW, HOW , WHERE CAN I DECLARE A VARIABLE THAT I CAN REFERENCE TO EVEN AFTER THE FORM HAVING BEEN CLOSED.
HELP
AQM

You should be able to reference a variable on a module all the time, if I'm thinking correctly, if it's declared public. Perhaps you should check the code of the close event of your form to see if that does something with the variable. Good luck.

Make sure that the Public variable is declared in a Code Module, not in the Class Module associated with a form.

HI,
THE PUBLIC VARIABLE IS DECLARED ON THE CODE MODULE. EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAPPENS. WHAT CAN I DO?

You may have a scoping problem. Make absolutely sure you aren't using the same variable name in one of your form modules. If you are, this would explain things.

Hi AQM!

My advice would be to not use a public variable at all. Open a form in hidden mode and drop the information you need in a text box on the form. Then close the form when you exit Access.

Well, it looks like you're getting responses here, but nevertheless, I have to say that I would never answer a post written in all caps. It's hard to read, and, by netiquette, is considered shouting.

We all have questions that are important to us. Shouting isn't necessary.

Try this

In the module for the form,

PublicVairiable = Me.Controls(tovars).Value

tovars is the name of the textbox.

 

[grnzbra]

Oops, I think that may be a solution to a different problem. Tovars is a variable which contains the name of the textbox. I don't think this is the solution to your problem. Please accept my apology.

For Years I have been looking for a good way to do this. How are you using a form to change the value of a variable? Bill Cooper
