It is a public variable. I could pass it into all the forms but how would I get it into reports? (I use it there to in the headers.) So, I just figured it would be eaiser on me to keep it public and let all my forms reference it too.

It equals something like, = 'Resident Information - ' + m.pcCurrentHall. Now if I dont have m.pcCurrentHall delclared it gives me an error, and if its declared its fine. It never did this in VFP 7. My questions is, can I get VFP to stop giving me an error everytime I open the form in the form designer?
