Public variables: memorized values

[PhilippeM]

Hi everyone!

I have defined 3 public variables:

Public OldCompany As Variant
Public OldLast As Variant
Public OldFirst As Variant

A procedure defines those variables:

OldCompany = !Company
OldLast = ![Last Name]
OldFirst = ![First Name]

Now I would like to retreive those values for the variables in another procedure, in another form:

With rs1
      .Index = "PrimaryKey"
      .Seek "=", OldCompany, OldLast, OldFirst

For some reason, VB tells me those variables are empty, although, they should have been defined by the other procedure.

Could someone help me please?
Thank you!

1. Are the Variables Declared in a Standard Code Module and not a Form or Report Module?
2. Is the Procedure defining those Variables executed before an attempt is made to retrieve their values?

I had them defined in the standard code module, but I overlooked that I had also defined them as a dim variable in the code of my private procedure. That ofcourse is the reason why it didn't work. It all works perfectly fine now.

Thank you.

Gald you figured it out, PhilippeM. Procedural Level Variable Declarations will always override Public Declarations.
