initializing variables

[Weaver]

I'm new to Access 97.

Where's the best place to initialize global variables that are
established in the declarations area?

[Albert D. Kallal]

Do rememmber that any un-trapped exection error will destroy ALL global vars
(you can distriubte a mde to your users..and this will NOT reset all
vriables).

The best palce is that in your main startup form, in the on-load event, you
can call a "mainsetup" routine that is simply code in standard module.

So, you can go

Call MyStartUP

And, in a modue, you have

Public Sub MyStartUP

gblUserName = currentUser()
gblcurTaxRate = 0.07

etc.

end sub

Thanks for this. I had no knowledge of the untrapped errors problem.

It is not a problem for good developers because good developers always trap
errors.

You've been caught sniping again, Donnie.

If you'd provide useful answers to some real questions in this newsgroup,
your pronouncements might get some respect. Given your behavior here,
though, how can you expect anyone to think other than "What would the
Resident Troll know about 'good developers'?"

One way of avoiding global variables being cleared by errors is to use
controls on a global form instead.

Larry the Lickass, picks through the posts
Where a newsgroup had been.
Lives in a dream.
Waits at his PC, wearing the thong
That he keeps on a hook by the door.
Who is it for?

All the Access homos,
Where do they all come from?

The words of a post that no one will hear.
No one comes near.
Look at him working, pulling his pud
In the night when there's nobody there.
What does he care?
