Hello there,

I am not new anymore to VBA, but I'm still strugglin:

I have made 6 modules, all using the
Code:
Dim PROJECT As Workbook
Dim REGISTER As Worksheet

Secondly they all use
Code:
Set PROJECT = Workbooks("Project Register TEST.xlsm")
Set REGISTER = PROJECT.Sheets("ProjectRegister")

Now because of the changing names for the file I would like to refer to a single Dim and Set statement in a 'overal' module, that will work for all 6 modules.
But I dont know what to do. I tried to refer to a sub
Code:
Call DimAndRange

Referring to this
Code:
Public Sub DimAndRange()
Dim PROJECT As Workbook
Dim REGISTER As Worksheet
Const MAX = 2000
Set PROJECT = Workbooks("Project Register FINAL VERSION.xlsm")
Set REGISTER = PROJECT.Sheets("ProjectRegister")

End Sub

But I wont work if I refer to REGISTER in my module.



Is there a way to fix this?
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Just declare your variables using PUBLIC instead of DIM but BEFORE your first SUB() procedure.
So:

Public MyVariable as range
Public MyNextVariable as String etc etc

Sub Procedure1()
End Sub

Sub Procedure2()
End Sub

and so on.

mm,
The problem is, every sub procedure has it own module.
And with the public statement i cant set the dimension for the worksheet.

What I want is a code like this

Code:
 Public Sub DimAndRange()
Dim PROJECT As Workbook
Dim REGISTER As Worksheet
Const MAX = 2000
Set PROJECT = Workbooks("Project Register FINAL VERSION.xlsm")
Set REGISTER = PROJECT.Sheets("ProjectRegister")

End Sub

And with this code in another module and within that module a new sub:
Call DimAndRange
That would fix the PROJECT en REGISTER so then I only have to change 1 value if needed.
