If I define a global variable in a forms General Declaration, will that 

variable\value be recognized in the code of a report residing in the same 

mdb?

Form and Report modules are special types of class modules.



When you declare a public var in a class module (global means the same thing

as public), it is exposed to the outside world as if it were a property.



So for instance if you had a form named frmMyForm, which had a public

variable called g_intMyVar then *if the form was open* you could get the

value of g_intMyVar from another module with a statement like:



   intLocalVersion = Form_frmMyForm.g_intMyVar

or:

   intLocalVersion = Application.Forms("frmMyForm").g_intMyVar



Compare, public variables declared in regular old modules, which you can use

pretty much anyplace.
