Hi all,

This works

Dim debriefBook As Workbook

Sub booktest()
Set debriefBook = ThisWorkbook
MsgBox debriefBook.Name
End Sub

but if I call a function from a different module,

Sub ShowName
Set debriefBook = ThisWorkbook
ShowMe
End Sub

and this is in a different module!
Function Showme()
MsgBox debriefBook.Name
End Function
It doesnt work, it says "object not defined"
I'm not sure whats going on.

Marko,

Change the declaration of the variable to Public. I.e.,

Public debriefBook As Workbook
