hi,
not sure exactly what you're up to but you might use a
trick i have used on occasions. dump the variable into a
cell. then you can use the value in other routines. it
some files(not many) i have a dump zone.

How does one make a variable available to other routines
stored in a
separate library-type file? I thought using "Public", but
in the
simple example below the variable "temp" is null within
the called
subroutine.

Calling file.
Public temp As Integer
Sub Master()
Workbooks.Open ("\Temp\Library1.xls")
temp = 0
Again:
MsgBox ("Befo" & temp)
Application.Run "Library1.xls!TestSub"
MsgBox ("After:" & temp)
temp = temp + 1
GoTo Again
End Sub
File "\Temp\Library1.xls".
Sub TestSub()
MsgBox ("Within:" & temp)
End Sub
Output produced.
Befo0
Within:
After:0
Befo1
Within:
After:1
Befo2
Within:
After:2
etc.

If I add a "Public" statement at the top of the
Library1.xls module, I
get zeros instead of nulls within the called routine. (It
works
correctly if I concatenate the two routines into the same
file, but
this of course defeats the purpose of having separate
libraries of
code).
