Local Variables
Dim sum As Integer
Static Variables
preserves value even when a procedure ends. Static intPermanent As Integer all variables in a procedure static Static Function RunningTotal ( )
Module Levele Variables
available to all the procedures in the module Private LoginTime As Date Public variables in BAS modules are global variables
Public vs Local Variables
References to the name R within the procedure would access the local variable and references to R outside the procedure would access the public variable.
Sub Procedures
[Private | Public] [Static] Sub Procedurename [( arglist)] [ statements] End Sub
Event Procedures
write common statements in a separate procedure (general procedure) and then call them in the event procedure.
