Also, if you need to share objects around the various parts of the project you can declare them in the module as either public variables or (if you want to add some shareable features) as properties of the module.

However, remember this: As you are accessing static features you need to explicitly use the module name qualifier when you reference them in other code.

So for example:

in module "MyUtil"

Public CurrentCustomer As CCustomer

Public Sub Execute_Current_Customer(PrejudiceLevel As Integer)
  CurrentCustomer = Null
End

in, say, "FMain"

Public Sub Load(CustID)

  MyUtil.CurrentCustomer.Load(CustID)
  If MyUtil.CurrentCustomer.IsLatePayer then
    MyUtil.Execute_Current_Customer(iExtreme)
  EndIf

etc
