Values of variables in a main form are lost after opening n closi.

[Raji]

I have a main form. On form load I open the country table and access the
default values for the default country and store them in variables decalred
at the form level.

I have a button which opens a popup form. I do some processing and when i
close this popup form I find that the values in the variables declared at the
main form level are all lost after exiting the button click event.

Why does this happen/ please help!!

Thanks
