Declare variables to work in numerous forms

In other words so i dont have to declare them on every form. Say for eample I have a text box and its retrieving its value from an outside interface. the variable is continuously changing. I have 3 forms, and on each one i have to declare the same variables for my code and setup the connection to my interface. Can I not set the code up in such a way that when it loads all forms work from it??

If you go to your project on t he right and add items, you should see the option to add a module (this will be a bas module). Modules are tied to the project itself and can have a global scope that allows all forms to see variables, functions etc defined there. Here is a little taste of what they can do... Modules (.BAS files) Feel free to research the idea of a BAS module some more and remember to use global variables sparingly. They often lead to bad design (and design problems later) if used too much. Enjoy!

I had added a module and messed around with that alright, couldnt get it working and wasnt 100% if that was the right way so i gave up. Now I know its the correct way ill give it another shot. Thanks Again
