Reference different form's variables 1

[Kib]

Is there a way to reference another forms variables without making them global variables?
so say if I am in frmEX2 I can call intIDNUM that exists in frmEX1
Is this possible?
Thanks.

you cannot get a variable used inside a forms VBA code because it's Subs are Private.
like so

Private Sub Combo1_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

End Sub

but if you create a new Procedure in a form it is Public
Public Sub Test1()

End Sub

So either move the function to a Module which is public and call it from anywhere.
Or yes as you stated make it Global.
that's what Global is there for don't worry about using it. DougP, MCP

Yes, you can make the variable public, if it's a module level variable:

public i as integer

Form modules are class modules.

this works in A2K. Expect it works in A97, probably won't work in A2.0
