How do I make a variable usable in multiple forms in Visual Basic 6?
wohawsnng asked:
Let say in Form1 the user chooses a text file, file A, to open containing the path of another file, file B. Then he will click a command button which opens file B in another form, displaying the text in the file in a text box.
yes I mean file A contains the path to file B
How do I use a module to do this?

don’t understand the question
do you mean file A contains the path to file B ?
Use a module. A module in VB6 is essentially common code that can be referenced by all classes & forms within your project.
There are three ways of doing this.
When you Define Form 2, set the Tag command with the value.
or
When you define Form 2 put the value in the New Parameters list
or
Define the Variable as Public in Form 2, after it is defined move the value to the variable.
