>You can use custom form property instead of variable. You can eaither create it at design time thru Form -> New Property menu or add at runtime using AddProperty method of the form. After that you can reference it as any other form property in form's methods/events, for example

Thisform.myproperty = DATE()

>>Hallo all

>>If I define it as PUBLIC, I can reach it in the whole application, and if I define it as LOCAL, I can´t use it in all methods in the form.

>>My wish is to make a variable that is isolated in one form, but I want to write and read the value from any method in the form.
