>>A public variable is available in the form called by a program. When that form calls a second form, upon entering the Init, it loses scope. The second form uses local parameters, but none are named the same as the public variable. Any ideas?

Sergey,

I've searched through the app and I can't see anyplace it is being passed. The variable has correct value in the form's Load and only loses scope when the Parameters statement is run in the Init of the 2nd form. This Parameters statement does not include the variable in question. Any other thoughts?
