Setting a value in modules

[mike]

Hi all,

how do I change a variable in the Module from a form?

For example:

In the module (name it module1)

Dim a as string //outside of all function

Public Function setvar(setstr as string)

a=setstr //error right here

end Function

Public Function getvar()
getvar= a

End Function


Then:
In a form, I click on a command button to set a=
something by using the function setvar(some string). But
it didn't work? Is there a better way to assign a value to
the variable a in the module??

If the variables are defined Public, you can refer to them directly from
anywhere else.

So, in the module:
Public strMyVariable as string

Then from anywhere else (in or outside that module):
strMyVariable = "xyz"

In passing, I hope you are not really naming your variable 'a'! If so, you
need to change that pronto. Come up with a proper variable naming scheme, or
look at other developer's code to see how they do it. Variable names like
'a', 'b' etc. are guaranteed to make your code incomprehensible.

HTH,
