Public declarations not accepted

I'm trying out some sample code from the MS site. This concerns the systray.

1.Add the following code to the declarations section of a standard module in
your project:

'user defined type required by Shell_NotifyIcon API call
Public Type NOTIFYICONDATA
cbSize As Long
hwnd As Long
uId As Long
uFlags As Long
uCallBackMessage As Long
hIcon As Long
szTip As String * 64
End Type

'constants required by Shell_NotifyIcon API call:
Public Const NIM_ADD = &H0
Public Const NIM_MODIFY = &H1
Public Const NIM_DELETE = &H2

But, when I try to run this, I get errors on all these Public statements. So,
are the instructions of where to put these in error, or what?

I had no problems adding these declarations to a module, my guess is that
you are confusing a module with a form.

In the main menu

Click on Project
Click on Add Module
Click New
Then add the code to this Module1

I hope that was helpful.

The declarations work fine for me. You do know that "standard module" means a
BAS code module, right?

You are adding them to a Module, aren't you? (In VB6 use the Project / Add
Module menu).
