using modules

Okay, I feel stupid again :confused: I can't remember how to use a module, since it's been about 3 years since I learned about one. I don't use vb much, and am trying to relearn it.

take a simple module:

VB Code:

Module myModule
    Dim sString1 as String
End Module

How do I use the module in form1, form2, whatever?
Or, if I am way off base, my ultimate goal is to have sString1 visible to pretty much the entire application (preferably without having to jump through too many hoops)

You'd use:

MessageBox.Show(myModule.sString1)

not quite....

I want to be able to access, change, store, everything, just as if I had declared it within the same block. I want to be able to use the same variable in different forms, though.

or rather

myModule.sString1

If it doesn't work its because you dimmed the sString1 instead of declaring it Public. Just make that change and you are in business.

Yeah... I figured that out a little later... my stupid friend told me not to declare it public, and for some reason I listened. Thanks!
