Take a look at "Understanding the Lifetime of Variables" in the VBA help to
get an understanding of how to set up a variable that will last for a
session.

As Duane mentioned, data should be kept in tables. Try and limit the use of
global variables to the smallest scope possible and load them from a table.
Remember, the data in the table could change and what is in the variable
will be obsolete.

What is the best way to have defaults in one location but available to the
whole application. Some examples would be Sales Tax rate, Late Fee charge
in addition to things like scanners/printers or other things used with in
the program.
