help with initial

the code like

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim num As Integer
num = 3
End Sub

---

when I use watch to view the value of num, it show the value is 0, why?

after num = 3 it will contain 3

Normally it is, but when I use quick watch to view, it show the value is 0. this is why I wondering

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim num As Integer
num = 3
End Sub

---

basicaly you've defined num and a local variable to be used only with in the sub Form_Load. Any reference to it from any other sub will return null..

To use num is a number of subs rather use

Code:

---

private num As Integer
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
num = 3
End Sub

---

hope this helps..
