====== Variables ======
  * **Dim**
    * Declares variables and allocates storage space.
    * Variables declared with Dim at the module level are available to all procedures within the module. At the procedure level, variables are available only within the procedure.
  * **Public**
    * Used at module level to declare public variables and allocate storage space.
    * Variables declared using the Public statement are available to all procedures in all modules in all applications unless Option Private Module is in effect; in which case, the variables are public only within the project in which they reside.
    * CAUTION: The Public statement can't be used in a class module to declare a fixed-length string variable.
  * **Private**
    * Used at module level to declare private variables and allocate storage space.
    * Private variables are available only to the module in which they are declared.
  * **Global**
    * FIXME - this was found in some documentation, but it is unclear if it exists and what it does
