between "global" and "public"

[ykffc]

For example (in a module of an Access project):
Global xx as String
versus using
Public xx as String

When declaring similar variables to reference objects, is there any
difference between using the keyword global and the keyword public.

 

[Paul Overway]

No real difference. Global is a holdover from early versions of VB/VBA.
Public is the more modern syntax, but in respect to function/purpose/usage
there is no difference.

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

No difference whatsoever. I can't remember which came first, but when they
switched to the other term, they kept the original in just to make it easier
to convert from version to version.
