Using variables between forms

I am making a game that requires a variable to be used between multiple forms. How does one accomplish this?

2 Choices actually.

1. Put in a module and declare the variable like this: public myVar as 'whatever datatype you want it to be.
2. Declare the variable like this on the form: public myVar as 'whatever datatype you want it to be.
and then when you need to use it on the other form use it like this: form1.myvar Where form1 is the name of the form where the variable is declared. One thing to remember though with this method though. The form where the variable is declared must be loaded to use the variable.

Alright, and any suggestions on where I could find some information on using modules (such as what theyre for :) )?
I am not very experienced with them.

thanx.

Module is just a collection a subs and functions. They are accessable from anywhere in the project. To add a module, right-click on the Project window, select Add>>Module and then select the Module template. You can then just enter variable declarations, subs and functions.

Imagine a form, without the form part, just the code window part. As you gain experience with VB you will be using them more and more images/icons/smile.gif

I'm liking them already, thanx :)

hmmm, what if i declare the function in the form but the first thing i declare is Option Explicit, do u think that can work?

Ummm, excust me? Option Explicit has to be the first thing there, if it's going to be anywhere. If you declare a function in the form, it must go under Option Explicit.
