[AccessD] Public Variables - Scope and Lifetime

I first tried to use an unbound textcontrol  on the main report, setting the
value along the way, referencing the control
me.txtControl
or
me.parent.txtcontrol
However, didn't work......

So I thought: use a public variable.
But how to prevent it going out of scope?

If - as you say - I only have to declare a public variable once, like in the
main report class module, how do I reference and set the value of the variable
within the subreport class module?

This is fundamental stuff, but I never got it (sigh!)
