[AccessD] Using Global Connctions

ROTFLOL.  The globals vanish when you hit an unhandled error in VB too.
Actually, step back, they don't vanish when you hit an unhandled error, only
if you click the END button.  If you select Debug, then you just get ported
to the appropriate place in your code....globals still intact.  In VB the
default behavior on an error is to just dump to the code(When running in
debug mode...when running compiled, your entire app stops).

The reason Access gives you a choice, is so that code problems don't delay
data stuff.  You could have a minor glitch in your code, but you are pulling
data through a query.  You want to pull all of the data, before getting to
the code problem, so providing the 'end' option allows for that.

The globals vanish when you hit an unhandled error.  Can you truly say
you NEVER have any such errors in your apps?  The environment in VB just
seems to lead to fewer instances of that behavior.  I still don't like
globals.

Oh no Charlotte, how can you do this? Not you.
No more stories on those "vanishing" globals ... please.

Or, are you asking the developer in-spe at the job interview:

"Do you prefer to program in VB with its sturdy globals or in Access
with the fragile globals of that environment?"

- Would love to listen to the cryptic mumbling answer and watch the
infidel flickering eyes of that poor guy m/f...
