That depends on your programming style. Right above the loop would do. Personally, I like to declare my globals in a special section at the top of my program - sometimes even with a short comment as to what they're supposed to hold. I find this helps me when I look at the code much later. YMMV. > The information contained in this message or any of its > attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive [...] Blah. Could you please get rid of that when posting to the list?
