Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ Visual Basic does not allow executable code at the module
  level of a form module.
 
■ All statements are executable except:
 
              COMMON                   CONST
              DATA                     DECLARE
              DEFtype                  DIM (for static arrays)
              Metacommands             OPTION BASE
              OPTION EXPLICIT          REM
              SHARED                   STATIC
              TYPE...END TYPE
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Move the executable statement to a SUB, FUNCTION, or event
    procedure.
 
  • Move the executable statement to the module level of a
    non-form module.
 
  • Delete the executable statement.
