Variable scope 1

[richardii]

Please could someone explain why it is that when you declare a variable as Public, and you assign that variable (with 10 in this case), it is not visible as 10 throughout the module or in other modules. It seems you have to assign it within a module, which seems to defeat the point of the variable being public. Assignment is invalid outside a Procedure.

So how would I declare (and assign) a varibale that can be seen by all procedures?

you need to make it Global

put this in a module in the declarations section

Thanks - it seems odd to me that you can't assign variables a value outside a procedure - but thinking about it, it's perhaps a good idea!

And if you just need it to have a scope of the module,
declare it per normal within the module, but outside
the procedure. <insert witticism here>
