If you don't want to clutter the namespace of your app and risk conflicting names, you can also mark the variables in your module as Protected. You then refer to them from anywhere in your app with the module's name listed before the variable. For example, if your module name is "MyGlobals" and your Protected string variable is "mUsername", you can access that variable with the following example syntax:
