really basic (pardon the pun) problems

[themangostays]

hi,

Call me dumb, but I've written a simple excel VBA macro that pulls the
values of various cells from various sheets on a simple invoicing
package i'm working on. One of the sheets is a reference sheet
containing client and job specific data. This sheet is then referenced
against the financial data sheet.
Why oh why can't I declair public variables that can be transfered
between forms/sheets.
I've tried everything. Can one of you clever folk tell me:

1. where should I be storing these procedures. In individual modules,
behind sheets or behind forms

2. how do I get the variables to be passed between the above

3. Where should i be declairing these variables. The're (yes you
guessed it) simple. Just cash values and strings.

Please help

Cheers

Hi,
Declare the variables in a general module - which is where you
should put your macros (unless they are associated with a userform or an
event) as below. When you open a general module you will see the caption
(Declarations) in the top right "drop down" - type in the declarations of the
Public variables. When completed i.e. when first SUB statement is encountered
a line will appear between the declarations and the macro.

HTH

Public myvar As String <=== Declare these first then add your macro(s)
Public thisvar as integer

Sub mysub1()

End Sub

Sub Mysub2

End sub
