A type is just an implicitly called function whose value is only provided to the error handler. If it is made global, it can be accessed anyplace in the code after the point of it's declaration. That should not force variables using it to be global. Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com To clarify, your user-defined type is global so you can declare other variables of that type in other modules of your code.This doesn't affect the scope of your newly declared variable though. (ie. A variable declared globally as user-type will be available throughout your all of your code, otherwise it is local to the file it resides in.)
