Noob easy question about scope

[scr0p]

I am just starting to use modules, anyway, I want my product's name to be in a constant, so I can easily change it later on, can I declare it in a module? If I put like "Public const THE_PRODUCT_NAME = "WordPadX v1.0" then I try to use it in a form, it says (variable not definied).

also what is the difference between global and public?

[ae_jester]

global and public are the same thing, just named differently

I think Global is the 'new' way to name them.

I just tried what you posted and it worked for me.

either:

a) you mispelled it
or
b) you ae using a class module isntead of a .bas module

Ok I had the const's declared under all the functions, I moved them up to right under option explicit, It works now.
