I tried putting in a global constant in my primary window with Add Constant and set the global scope, but when I tried setting it in another window's static text with
thatstaticbox.setString = constAppName  + "More Text"

compiles fail at constAppName, so I'm suspecting that the global constant is only accessible in the window it's declared in, despite being global?

You'll need to refer to it as window.constAppName.

I knew it was something simple I was overlooking.

Or, you could create a global module (I call mine AppGlobals) and place any application global properties, constants, classes, and methods there.

Another idea I'll keep in mind, thank you!

And thank you to everyone else who replied with these ideas too!
