Declaration expected

Public Module GlobalVariables

Public gDataGridShowing

Public gDatabase As String
```End Module

Public Class Form1

   gDatabase = "ganswind"   **<<< error "Declaration expected"**

   Function HideMenuPoints(ByVal MenuNumber)

   .

   .

   .

I guess I am placing things in the wrong place?

( There is no such things as a stupid question, .... )

Try this:

Module GlobalVariables

    Public gDatabase As String = "ganswind"

End Module

Or this:

Public Class Form1

    Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()

        GlobalVariables.gDatabase = "ganswind"

    End Sub

(Depending on necessities).

I tried:

Public Class Form1

Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Sub New()

    InitializeComponent()

    GlobalVariables.gDatabase = "ganswind"

    GlobalVariables.gDataGridShowing = 0

End Sub

And got:

'GlobalVariables' is not declared

'gDataGridShowing ' is not declared

The I tried:

Module GlobalVariables

Public gDatabase As String = "ganswind"

Public gDataGridShowing As Integer

End Module

And got:

Partial Friend Class MyApplication

<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()>

Public Sub New()

    MyBase.New(Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationMode.Windows)

    Me.IsSingleInstance = False

    Me.EnableVisualStyles = True

    Me.SaveMySettingsOnExit = True

    Me.ShutDownStyle = Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.ShutdownMode.AfterMainFormCloses

End Sub

<Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()>

Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateMainForm()

    Me.MainForm = Form1 >>**System.InvalidOperationException: 'Application-defined or object-defined error.'**

End Sub

End Class

Now I even more confused?

Try to create a new Forms project (for testing). Check if it works. Then add the GlobalVariables module and check again. Then modify the Form1, etc.

Maybe your original project has issues that are not caused by these modifications.
