Based on a lattice-theoretic approach, we give a complete characterization of modules with Fleury's spanning dimension. An example of a non-Artinian, non-hollow module satisfying this finiteness condition is constructed. Furthermore we introduce and characterize the dual notion of Fleury's spanning dimension.
