calling procedure outside module

[ivo]

I need to look for a variable value that is filled when my document is
opened.
How to access to it?
I've tried something but it does not work - for example:

if vairable, named "location" is filled with document path just when
document is opened and latter i need to know what is in my variable, how to
write it?

thanks for any suggestion

Hi Ivor:

What I usually do for this type of situation most often is to save the
information on a table stored inside a MS Access database shell. When the
document opens, you can then have the document check that table for the
information. I use this method for establishing where the other backend
Access tables (s.a. client information) are located.

Another method is to store the information in the Windows registry... comes
in handy if you wish to protect a document to say, 50 openings.

Cheers,
Al
