I pose a question for a better understanding of variables within my
spreadsheet.
I have declared within "ThisWorkbook"

Public Sub Workbook_Open()
Public ver, Report, Week, Period
End Sub

Within Module 1, Sub Report1
I have given the variabes values
Ver = 4
Report = "Report Week 1.xls"
Week = 1
Period = 1

call Reports

Sub Reports

Routine that calls upon the variables mentioned above,
eg. Workbooks.Add
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="D:\Store Returns\Reports\" &
Report, _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, CreateBackup:=False

More code

Windows("Poor Store Returns Ver " & ver & " 2003.xls").Activate


but when run the variables are empty. Can anyone please help me to better
understand where I'm going wrong.

Regards
Lee
