subject: Accessing a variable from

Hello,

As you may guess, I'm not a very experienced VB6 programmer...  However, I
feel this should be easy to do... but it just doesn't work.

At the beginning of the "code" in a form (MyForm), I declare a variable:

'---- MyForm -------
Dim MyArray() as string

Later in this form, I put some value in the array.


Then, in a separate module (MyModule), I would like to acces the values from
MyArray...

'--- MyModule ------
Dim NewArray() as string
NewArray = MyForm.MyArray

It doesn't work...  I get the following error message when I execute the
code:
Compile Error: Method or data member not found.

Also, if I try to replace the Dim line in MyForm with:  Public MyArray() as
string , then I instantly get the message:
Compile error: Constants, fixed-length strings, arrays, user-defined types
and Declare statements not allowed as Public members of object modules.

What would be the solution?

Thank you for your help!
