Thanks for your help,

But that could be a rather long processus when you have many variables. I would rather declare it public than have no problem. The thing is that I would have thought that if I declare a LOCAL variable in the init event of a form or formset, all objects or events on that form would have access to it but it doesn't look like it is working like that.

Thanks,
Yves
