VFP 6.0

My application starts is a screen that I have looking like a toolbar. In the init event I declare a memory variable public and give it a value.

public csr
restore from csr.mem

There are a few buttons on the toolbar that run a few modal forms/screens. when I add a record, exit the screen, and try to launch another form/screen with one of the other buttons, I get an error that says the variable "csr" could not be found.

In the debugger it is there !!

What is going on?
