Keeping a Variables value alive.
 

Hi,
I thought i had a good understanding of Scope and lifetime
of varaibles but i'm havibg a problem. I need to maintain
and update the value of variable for the life of of the
running app. I decalred it as public in a module and I
set its value in a Form module. It maintains its value as
long as the first form is running, but when I call another
form, from the first form, it loses its value. I've also
tried creating a Static Function and declaring the
variable as Static within the Function, but it still
resets the variable when I move to a new form. How do i
declare a variable, and where in my project do i place it
so it can be available, maintain its value, and be
modifiable between procedure calls and Form modules?
Thanks.

I just create a simple test with two forms.

I declared a public variable in a standard module, and set it to 17, then
called form 1. On this I had a button which displayed the value then called
form 2. This also had a button that displayed the value. It always showed 7
as expected.

Any other oddities going on?
