where to declare variables

I would like to declare a variable for the whole module, so before the
class, I used the dim statement, but I noticed in a sub that it complained
that a variable was not declared. This seems a little different than VBA.
Can anybody help?
Option Explicit On
Dim txtPlayer As String
Dim txtComputer As String
Dim x as Integer

Public Class RPS...
statements
End Class

Again, you need to ask in a dotnet newsgroup. VB.NET is more than a little different from VB6 and/or VBA.

Is this a VB.Net question or a VB6 question?

My bad.

Is there a free VB 6.0 version?

Thanks

There used to be a Working Model edition. It was primarily included with beginners books for VB6. I have no idea if you can
download, much less even find, this anymore. Regardless, the Working Model edition did not allow you to compile your projects so it
really wasn't much good for anything other than learning VB6 with the intent of eventually purchasing VB6.

It sometimes take a few minutes (or longer) for a post to appear. So if you don't see it right away, just be patient for a few
minutes longer (and make sure you refresh your message list).
