Hello,
This is my second attempt. I was about to post this in a slightly more complicated form, when I noticed I could do it a lot easier and simpler. But there was some interesting, if over complicated, stuff in that
First overcomplicated solution, that might be useful for future reference, so I archived it for prosperity anyway…

.... in real these values will
go to another WBK.
:::
or now just one question, "public" will always declare for userfrom means storing value either within
WBK or for Other WBK.

Public means that the variable will be "known" in all code modules of the same workbook,
but not in code modules in other open workbooks. .
If Public variables are being the things that go in a normal code module, as I think they are, technically, or officially, or according to most people, or words to that effect, ….. then that is the case that they won’t be known in other workbooks.
In other words, for the purposes of what is going on here, it means you will need to be storing them in the same workbook, as Hans said, and how Hans demonstrated.
However, you can do something that technically is not involving Public variables, but as far as I can tell, to all intents and purposes, is in effect the same thing, or very similar to, as if you could have those Public variables in a different workbook.
The short story is:
Instead of putting the two public variables in a standard normal code module, ( in the same workbook) as Hans did, we can put them in any Class object code module in any open workbook. ( Technically they are not called Public variables. They are , I think, properties of the instantiated Class object, and we can access them, in the usual way that we access properties of an object.
I call them
Pseudo Public variables, just because I want to, and because I can , as I just did! )
The full story
Workbook PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls
I have another workbook uploaded,
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls . That is just to hold these
Pseudo Public variables
I can put them
Pseudo Public variables in any Class object code module, in any open workbook, but just for fun, I will put C1 in a worksheet code module, and C2 in the
ThisWorkbook code module, both in the workbook
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls
So, this is what Hans did, Proper Public variables in a standard normal module like
Standard module, Module1 ( in
Sample for Eli.xlsm )
Code: Select all
Public C1 As String
Public C2 As String
Instead of doing that , I will put those variables in Class object code modules in
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls, like this:
Worksheet code module, Sheet1 ( in
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls )
Workbook code module, ThisWorkbook ( in
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls )
Workbook Sample for Eli.xlsm
I need to modify now the workbook uploaded by Hans, in 3 main ways:
_(i) I don’t need the two public variables in a standard normal code module anymore – ( I showed above where I now have them instead )
_(ii) I need to modify slightly how I reference the variables
Code: Select all
Sub Fi_l()
'Act_ive
'Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = C1
Let Range("A2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1
'let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = C2
Let Range("B2").Resize(10).Value = Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2
End Sub
_(iii) I need to fill the variables in a slightly different way
Code: Select all
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Select Case Me.CheckBox1
Case True
'C1 = "yes"
Let Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").C1 = "Yus"
End Select
Select Case Me.CheckBox2
Case True
'C2 = "yes"
Let Workbooks("PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls").C2 = "Ja"
End Select
Unload Me
Call Sheet2.Fi_l
End Sub
That’s it.
So download both files, open them both, and then the coding in
Sample for Eli.xlsm should work as before. The only difference is that you are using the “pseudo” public variables in the workbook
PurseWayDoughPublicVariables.xls
_._____________________________________________________________________
I have not seen this use of
“pseudo” public variables much before, so there may be some reason I don’t know about why they should not be used??
But I use them myself sometimes, and so far I have never seen them behave much differently to “proper” public variables. ###
( I would just finally say that I don’t use public variables much myself, pseudo or otherwise, if I can find another way to do what I want. I don’t like public variables myself. For one reason: I find they have an annoying habit of getting emptied sometimes. ( ### One small advantage of using a pseudo Public variable in another workbook is that it won't get emptied as a proper one would in the main workbook, if for example a macro errors , since that typically resets the VBA project in the workbook that errors, which empties global variables)
For what is required here, I would simply store the variables in some spare cells in a worksheet somewhere.
For large files, I often have a worksheet called something like “MeGlobies”, and anything like those variable values are stored there, along with other temporary stuff. I find that can be useful when debugging. Often then, I have an event code that kicks in on closing that deletes that worksheet. If I don't delete it, then it can be used as a bit of a Log, and often includes a few dates of when stuff got done )
