Subroutines - need some clarification (Read 996 times)

	Page 69 of the Programming Guide discusses Subroutines. I'm a bit puzzled by this statement: Quote: User-defined subroutines and functions must occur in the program ahead of the programming statements that call them. What does "ahead" mean in this context? TIA!

	It means that they have to be declared(written), above the code that calls them. -Ray

	Would putting it in Global Code of the form satisfy that requirement?

	Yes. As Global Code is compiled first, subroutines declared in that section can be called from the other events. -Ray

	Thank you. Speaking of compiling, what is the best way (in general terms) to decrease the compile time when my form is opening?

	Simplify your code. If you have the same code over and over again turn it into a function or subroutine. -Ray
