In VBA Environment, in the 'Workbook' add the following ...
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Do stuff in here
End Sub

Sameer,

More detail would be helpful, such as when do those variable need to be
initialised, and will they be used in one macro. or many.

You could create public constants and assign values if the value will never
change, or public variables if they are required in many macros. In
idealisation could be done in the Workbook_Open event or at the start of a
procedure.

As for the controls, it is probably better not to create the controls when a
sheet is loaded, it could be loaded many times, but add them manually, and
then just use them in the sheet.
