>If I declare some variable public, should this go in the init section of a form rather than the activate? Does the activat section get fired every time the form does something then finishes? The init only once?
Actually, you should create a new property to hold the value, rather than a PUBLIC variable. If you need the variable after the form is closed, create an application object to hold the property.
