Global Variables

[Ernst Guckel]

Hello,

Maybe I just don't get it but I seem to be having a bit of trouble with my
global variables. Proc. level variables are simple. Module level variables
are available to the module that they are declared in. Where and how do I
declare a global variable? I put:

Public gsFile As String in 'ThisWorkbook' module and in Autpen I put:

gsFile = Thisworkbook.Path & DB_FILE

The problem is that the variable looses its value once the sub routine
ends... How do I use the variable and retain its value while the workbook is
open?

Ernst.

Declare the variable using the Public keyword in a standard module, not the
ThisWorkbook class module. It will then be available to the entire project
