What is the Difference between Global and Public, Dim and Private variables? in Visual Basic 6.0. Because I am always using Public and Dim but using Global and Private is doing the same thing, is there any differences between these types of declaration scopes???????
Example:
What is the difference:
' In bas Module
Option Explicit
Global gblmyVar1 as Long ' Declared as Global
Public pblmyVar1 as Long ' Declared as Public
' In Form Module
Private prvRecSet as New ADODB.Recordset ' Declared as Private
Dim dimRecSet as New ADODB.Recordset ' Decalred as Dim
Please help, thanks in advance.

Hi
Global is not a vb keyword.
The MSDN library says:
Variables declared using the Public statement are available to all procedures in all modules in all applications unless Option Private Module is in effect; in which case, the variables are public only within the project in which they reside.
Caution The Public statement can't be used in a class module to declare a fixed-length string variable.
Use the Public statement to declare the data type of a variable. For example, the following statement declares a variable as an Integer:
Public NumberOfEmploye es As Integer
Only use Public if you want your variable to have scope in your entire project.
As for dim:
Variables declared with Dim at the module level are available to all procedures within the module. At the procedure level, variables are available only within the procedure.
Use the Dim statement at module or procedure level to declare the data type of a variable. For example, the following statement declares a variable as an Integer.
Dim NumberOfEmploye es As Integer

Global???
Public - We can access that variable by Direct or Indirectly through all parts of Project
Private - Only a Pirticular part of Access
Dim - Just like Private and Initialize at the time of calling that part
Global is not a vb keyword.
Ah, how soon we forget... :)
Global is a holdover from earlier versions, and I believe VB still accepts it for backward compatibility. I'm fairly certain it's treated the same as Public.

My copy of VB6 refuses to let me use the global word. Access rejects it too. How about that.

Hm... maybe it's some option I turned on for compatibility? Don't remember.
I assume this was in a module and not a form, right?
(I've just had a look through the options and can't see anything that looks relevant.)
I see I see, but you mentioned guys about Option Private Module, and I think this is the key to my answer, because in VB6 you are allowed to create multiple projects in just one Project File, Example: I have a project Named MultiProject, under that project I got 3 types of project like prj001,prj002 and prj003. So, what I think is if you will try to declare a variable in BAS Module with GLOBAL statement you can Access that variable in all of your 3 projects, So what do you think guys??? is that a probable answer to my question ?
About the Option Private Module, I just figured it out that If VB6 implement this kind of Option then I think that is the reason why there is a GLOBAL Statement, So if you will try to disable the Option Private module then Global statement is in effect and you can access your variables with GLOBAL statement in different types of your projects.
Thanks guys I appreciate all your help and Ideas, but if you think this is not the answer you can suggest another, please don't hesitate to post your answers...

hi,
as far as i know in python there aren't any private (i mean not accessible
from the outside of the object) methods/fields.
why?
in java/c++ i can make a method private, this way unaccessible for the outside
world. i think it helps a lot to make for example a library more robust.

I'm having a discussion with my colleagues here on good programming
standards. One thing we haven't agreed on is the use of properties in
classes vs using member variables. Now everyone knows that it is useful to
use a property when it has to do some further action on the data such as
private double salesAvg;
public double SalesAverage
{
set {
salesAvg = value / salesTotal;
}

One odd thing I've come across - if you declare a private variable in
a class, it is exposed to other instances of that same class.
To replicate this behaviour, create a class like this:
Public Class Class1
Private mintID As Integer = 0
Public Sub New(ByVal pintID As Integer)

Hi there
Is there any way to access private variables directly from within a
priviliged function? I have a situation where the priviliged function's
execution context contains variables of the same name as the parent
context, but I want direct access to the parent context's variable.
E.g. I would like to be able to do this...

a) Because two developers, unbeknownst to each other, can end up releaseing
different dll's with the same name, one should sign an assembly with a unique

Hello all,
I recently posted a question about a tool that would create the public
member variables for a selected set of private member variables - when
there's 10 - 15 privates, it can be very tedious!. I found a number of
options, but all a little costly, so I developed my own.
For example,
