It all depends on how you called the variable. There are
four types, Dim, Public, Private and Static. You can also
declare them either at procedure level or module level in
the options section of the module (top of the module).
Each retains the value for different times.

Have a look under the help variables to see how each can
be used.

Static should retain the value between calls, whilst Dim
defiend at procedure level looses its value when that
procedure ends. Declaring a variable at module level as
Public should retain the value after the form has closed.

Make sure though that the variable is decalred in a module.

Best of Luck
