Reading value on Outlook startup and persisting

I am working on a vb macro and have come to a point that has stumped
me. Forgive me, but I'm still a novice when it comes to this.

Here is my problem: I am using the startup event to read a value
stored on a file. Then, I have a macro that runs on command which
performs operations on the selected email messages. I want to persist
that value read at startup so that whenever the macro is executed,
I'll have access to that value. Any ideas?

You need to declare a module-level or global variable to hold the
information.
