Using values from one macro in another!

[aiyer]

Hi all!

I've assigned a value to a variable (X) declared in a certain macro.
was wondering if there would be a way for me to use the VERY SAM
variable X (which has the stored value in it) in another macro?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Declare it as a Public variable in a standard module, outside of any macro,
at the top of the code.

You can turn the variable into a global variable so that both procedures can
access it:
eg.

Dim myvar As Long

Sub test1()
myvar = 123
End Sub

Sub test2()
MsgBox myvar
End Sub

Pass it to the second macro as an argument. If the second variable
need to use the variable itself (i.e. potentially change its value)
pass it by reference, otherwise pass it by value:

Sub Macro1()
Dim X As Long
X = 2
Macro2 X
Macro3 X
End Sub

Sub Macro2(ByVal Value As Long)
MsgBox CStr(Value)
End Sub

Sub Macro3(ByRef arg As Long)
arg = arg + 10
MsgBox CStr(arg)
End Sub
