What is the lifetime of a Public variable?

Does it hold the variableas long as the Workbook remains open?

As long as Excel remains open? Suppose the Public vaiable is declared in
Personal.xls?

I need a means of making a variable that is a collection of ranges
"permanent"--that is, the variable lasts as long as the workbook stays open
at least.

Thank you.

Yes it is there as long as that workbook is open, or something else happens
that clears it. it can't be as long as Excel is open, as the workbook could
be closed before Excel and it is defined in the workbook.

John,

I presume this is related to your previous post about ranges and stacks.
If you store the "collection of ranges" as normal strings then you can save
them in Personal.xls. See my reply to implementing stacks in Personal.xls,
in your prev post.
