As I understand it the best place to declare some public variables is in a new module.
I can then put in stuff like Public Const strVersionNumber = "v1.0.0"
Do I then have to call the module as the startup code?
Another thing you can do is put this in a database property and this way you can get to it from outside the database.
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim prp As Property
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set prp = db.CreateProperty("MYVersion", dbText, "V1.1")
db.Properties.Append prp
MsgBox CurrentDb.Properties!MyVersion
