Public variable

Hello,

I am setting up a public variable in the declaration section of my module
(Public Authorized_Machine as string)
I initialize the variable right in the Auto_open() sub expecting ths
variable and its value to be available to all the procedures in my module,
but it does not work.
A simple "MsgBox Authorized_Machine" (in a seperate procedure) shows the
variable empty...

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Eric
