Public variable

[VictorGuarnieri]

Hello, I got a doubt:
In a test project I have two forms: a login and a main form
In the login form, I'll check the user/password and also the access level of that user. For that I used a variable set as public (in the login form), since I'll need it later on other forms, but its not working.
So, if I have to do that, do I have to write the login routine in a module?
Thanks

Did you use Public Constant?

How are you declaring the public variable, and how are you trying to access it later?

Thanks for the quick answers.
Well in the login form I declared it:
Public nivel As Integer

Later in the main form I used it without declaring again, so it appears out of nowhere

Can you show me the line of code in your main form where you use it? Did you preface the variable with the name of your login form? For example, if your login userform is named Userform1, did you refer to the variable as Userform1.nivel when you refered to it in the main form?

Yeah that's the problem...
So always when I declare a variable as public somewhere, later I'll have to use the form where it was declared as a reference?
Thanks
