In A97, is there any notable difference in declaring variables using Public VS Global ?

[MLH]

I'm wondering about Public VS Global kewords that can be used in
procedures inside global modules saved/viewd in the modules tab
of the database window. Is it pretty much the same thing to use one
or the other when declaring a global variable? If not, what is (are)
the major difference(s) ?

It is exactly the same thing. The "Global" keyword is available for
backward compatibility only, it was changed from "Global" in Access
1.x/2.0 to "Public" in Access 95 and later. So it may be better to use
"Public" instead of "Global" in view of the future.
