I've read several places that global variables, while useful, can also eat 
memory and possibly cause a noticable depreciation in speed.  After working 
to optimize all my latest code to keep global variables to a minimum, I 
realized that all my local variables that were created when a form is 
Loaded are also in memory.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by moving variables that are only loaded 
seldom onto forms that I am using somewhat frequently?  If the variable is 
going to be populated once on average per use of the form, should I really 
be loading it into memory when the application starts and I load the most 
commonly used forms?

What is the impact of moving the variables to global constants?  Do I save 
any memory?  How do I declare a constant globally?  In my global module 
(gMod)?


Thanks,
