[AccessD] Public Variables - Scope and Lifetime

Finally reverted to the old, tried and tested frmSystem hidden form!
As I walk the formatting of the main form and the two major subforms each having
three subforms, by referencing / setting value of a 'flag' text control on the
hidden frmSystem I can control the formatting and printing of the pageheader.
(final output of report is saved as RTF file and further formatted in Word;
found that a repeating groupheader label totally messes up the RTF file format,
sometimes the groupheader appears in the middle of the page in between the rows
of data, whereas according to the 'book' a repeating groupheader label should
appear on top of the page.... not so; hence the need for formatting and
controlling the printing of the pageheader depending on where in the report we
are....)

But, what am I missing for achieving the same using a global/public variable?

...hmmm maybe it's not a public variable that is needed but an object type of
thing?

... perhaps a framework?

;)
