[AccessD] Public variable losing contents

Paul,

Variables declared in a form's module are only in scope while the form
is open, even if they are declared public.  Variables you want to last
throughout the session must be declared in standard modules.  That is
one part of the O-O paradigm that Access follows.

Got around it, but I can't see why.......

I was declaring the variable public inside the startup form, I removed
it from the startup form and placed it inside a module same as before
public pubCallingForm and it now works fine and thats the only change I
made......CONFUSED.......
