Displaying a Public Variable on a form

[swenger]

I declared a public variable which is recorded based on what they choose on one form. When that form is closed and another form is open I would like to display the value of this Variable. My variable is called UnLong. I tried creating a Text Box and typing =[UnLong] but it displays #Name?

what is the correct way?



Thanks

So it seems like I need to do this through a Funtion.

I declared this

Public Function LoggedInAs() As String
LoggedInAs = unLong
End Function

On my form the control for the text box is =LoggedInAs()

This works.

However, if this form is opened and then the unLong variable changes through another action on a different form, this text box doesn't update unless I close and re-open the form.

Is there a way to have this text box refresh when the variable is updated.
