Varibles - reuseable?

[Guest]

Hello.

If I have declared a varible in an event handler, can I ues it again in the
same form but in another event handler? Thanks.

Xero,

The answer is no, however maybe you can explain why you want to o that?

If declared locally to the event handler, you can use the same variable
name in another event handler

Xero,
An Event Handler is simply a subroutine.

You can use the same name for variables in any number of subroutines,
however each subroutine would have its own variable.

What specifically are you asking?

Do you want one event to set a variable & a second event to use that same
variable? You need to use a Class/Form level variable in that case.

See "Scope" in the Visual Basic Language Reference:
