1. Keep only 1 public variable - aka oApp application object
2. Hungarian notation is a preference, use or do not use. But do use m. (aka MDOT) prefix for memory variables.
3. ..
4. Obtain a book from
Hentzenwerke.com to get the basics.
5. When asking specific questions provide reproducing code and preferably some data along with your post (check FAQ section for a code that creates a code that you can paste to your post for sending data from your tables).
My .02 cents:)
