Public variable not updating for each function

[Ruegen]

In one module I have made some public variables - one of which is a string

in other modules I have functions that change that string, sort of update it depending on what task it is.

For some reason if one function changes it, only the first will change it. The others don't update the string and I can't figure out why



Any suggestions?

Show code.

These variables are referenced by various modules? The variables are declared in header of a general module? Or are they used by procedures of only one module?

I had it in each public sub or function in (I'm pretty sure no functions) which are in different modules.

I have a module that just declares the variables for use in other ones - the one I can't change is the nav variable highlighted in the image

I'm wondering if because the variable is declared in one module you can't change it in another??



note: because I am using PHP on the site I have to change the link to the navigation for every html page that is built - so each task gets their own path of the url.

I think I have to change the variable into a string function and call the variable (with the path passed through) each time.

So I think I have just solved it...

yup I solved it (thanks to your help - it made me think about what I was doing)

I basically made a string variable strHTMLTop and thought I could change the variable in the string which wasn't going to work just by changing the variable in the string before it was called.

I converted it to a string function and passed the url I wanted each time it was called - easy fix. Now it works.

Thanks
