Setting value of a public var from a form

[Dave D]

I need to pass the value entered on a form to a variable
in a module, have tried severial times and no joy. The
variable in the module I am trying to set is public, the
form item is a textbox. I am using the on exit event.

Doesn't

myVar = Textbox1.Text

not work?

No it does not, I have tried from the form ti set the
value and from the module to set the value. Could it be
the "private" declaration of the event?

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

The variable should be declared Public at the top of the general module,
before any procedures and not within a procedure and not in the code module
associated with the form.

 

[Bob Phillips]

Doing it from a form should be no problem as long as the variable is in a
standard code module.

Doing it from the module would need

myVar = Userform1.Textbox1.Text

and the form must not have been unloaded.
