[quote]Am I missing something or should I create them as global at the beginning of my program[quote]
Yes, you are misunderstanding types. Types are always global, so your functions can always access each type.
As you can see I have no global variables and can still access the types. Also I don't need to create a new variable for each type I create, I can reuse variables because of the way types work.
I can use the following:

Open in online IDEtype myType field field1 field field2 end type for n = 1 to 10 ;m is local here m.myType = new myType m\field1 = n m\field2 = n * 2 next PrintMyTypes waitkey function PrintMyTypes() ;t is local and goes through each myField type for t.myType = each myType print t\field1 + " " + t\field2 next end function

I can use the following:
t = first myType ;t points to the first type t = last myType ;t points to the last type t = after t ;t now points to the next type t = before t ;t now points to the previous type
