Variable Scope Dim vs Public

Hi Akiko

If you declare a variable as Dim it sets it up to be seen only by the procedure or module that contains it. For example:

Sub Test()

Dim MyName as String

MyName = "Carlos"

End Sub

If I wanted to access the value of MyName from another procedure it wouldn't find it.

So if the variable you are declaring needs to be accessible by all procedures and modules in a project then it needs to be declared as Public. For example:

Public MyName as String

Hope this helps
