Question

I have created a game using VB and and i would like to noe how to use a result...example, geting a score in a maths game and so it can be shown on a certificates page in a different form?

Answer 1

Hi,
Insert a module in ur project. If a module is already there then in top of ur module (i.e., in declare section) u declare a variable "Dim Result as Variant" or of any type. This variable will be a Global variable. It can be accessed from anywhere in ur project.

Answer 2

You can either refer to that other form directly in your code, such as:

OtherFormName.Value = MyValue

OR you can set up a Global Variable in a MODULE (not one of your forms) which can then by accessed by both of the forms. Just make a new blank module. Declare your variable in it, and you're all set.

Global MyValue as String
