Variable Scope & Visibility in Microsoft Access VBA

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will teach you about variable scope and visibility in VBA. We'll learn about public vs. private, the keywords dim and global, and the different scopes including procedure-level, form-level, and database-level.

Sandra from Norfork, Arkansas (a Gold Member) asks: Can I use Dim X as String on multiple buttons on one form, or does each button require a separate character?  I've watched lots of videos, but have not found one yet that answers this question.
