public variables scope

[nivini]

Hello guys
I have a variable problem, it goes like this:

in Module1 I declared :
public formID as string

in Form1 I set:
Module1.formID=Str(Day(Date) & Month(Date) & Year(Date))

in Form2 I want to see Module1.formID like this
Text1.text=Module1.formID

but Text1 remains empty. I could see it in Form1 , but it "died" somewhere in Form2
What is wrong with my proccess
I'm sure youll find it in no time,
thanks

It works o.k. for me. Even calling it from the Form1 Load Event.

I don't use the Module1.formID=Str(Day(Date) & Month(Date) & Year(Date)). I don't know if it's good practice but I never include it.

Module1.formID=Str(Day(Date) & Month(Date) & Year(Date))

The important question is, in what event is this code, and has this event fired before your other code attempts to retrieve the value?

Like Error7, I never include the module name when referring to a public variable.
