Type Scope
 

To all,

I created a Public Type in a module as follows,

Public Type AppInfo
UserAction As String
FolderSelected As String
DBFolder As String
DBFn As String
End Type

A procedure in the module shows a form and I fill appInfo
values, but when I unload the form the values are lost?

Why is that?

Jim,

Where are you declaring the variable of the specified Type? If
you declare the variable in the form's code, it will be lost when
the form is unloaded. If it is declared in the same procedure
that shows the form, it will remain in scope for that procedure.

It is declared in the Module that contains a Sub that
shows the Form. That's why I'm confused.
