Re: Wizard Variables

Thank you both, Bill & Dave, I will look into these suggestions.

Being an old hat real life Programmer I always declare in any  
procedure the variables that are used in that procedure, be they  
Local, Global, or FileGlobal. If nothing else it keeps me honest. I  
also put them all at the beginning, thought they could come just  
before they are used. And just for organization and localization I  
always declare Global and FileGlobal in the .Initialize procedure and  
make sure they are defined, hate that message about an undefined  
variable..

thanks again,
Elon Close
