Hi how do I declare c++ like global declaration in VB?
I am trying to call a procedure to get some input from user then
return values to main procedure but I am having problem doing this.
Please help.

if you are using a subroutine or function you should pass the values
required.

example

private sub MY_Input_routine(my_input as string)
'
' get user input
'
my_input = xxx ' xxx is user input

end sub

when you do a call MY_input_routine(my_value)

the variable my_value will contain the user input.
This keeps all variables local and helps to identify when values are
being passed.

The other way is to put a DIM my_value as string (or whatever) in the
declarations section of your form. This seems to make it global.

If you want a true global then you will have to put the
declaration in a .BAS module.  Then you will have to set the
program start-up options to start with the Sub Main() in your
Module.  This will make the variable global and accessible from
any form in your app.
