why are you trying to avoid using globals?

[mick lennon]

Ive created an App and now it has to be made comply to company standards

[RebelDev]

and company standards say that you can't use global variables?

[mick lennon]

Yes

hi

mormally in my apps if i have a lot of shaered variables then i put it in a modual all the forms can acesses however if u can not do that cus of ur companies coding standards then u can pass the cariables when u call ur subs or functions!!

Sub Add_Responce()
dim mystring as string

      mystring = "Hello it Sanj"

      call test(mystring)

end sub


Public Sub Test(ByVal Response As String)

       msgbox Responce

end sub

how about sommit like that ...

btw abouve is not tested!!

Cheers Sanj

But If I put the shared variables in a module, do I not have to make the sjhared variables global anyway?

[Sanj]

yep of course!!

how about that example i gave does the help towards a solution u need!

can u gove me more info so i can help??

Just to verify; You explicitly place 'Global' before the shared variables in your modules?

I use a lot of Active X objects between forms, which would not suit your above method

hi mick

Just to verify; You explicitly place 'Global' before the shared variables in your modules?

the answer is no...well i dont anyway!!

i use the keyword Public

This is what i extracted from the help

Variables declared using the Public statement are available to all procedures in all modules in all applications unless Option Private Module is in effect; in which case, the variables are public only within theproject in which they reside.

would that be OK for u to Use

Thats bang on. I just want to avoid using the 'Global' type. Publics although they are essentially the same thing.
Cheers for your help Sanj

[Sanj]

No probs mate

glad to be of assitance

[mick lennon]

What I meant to say Sanj is thet although Publics are essentially the same thing as Globals, they are allowed within the constraints of my comapany standards.
Cheers

glad we got round it
