    'When you declare your variables and definitions
    'in a module, they become public for the entire project..
    'You may also write your public prosedures or functions in a module.

    'Modules are useful for larger projects when you
    'want some of your variables or definitions to be globally accessed.
    'The Option Explicit call is used for variable name debugginng
