I thought I read that there was a way to store data in an xls file - this data was only readable from within VBA. The data was stored and retrieved via key-value pair.

For example: "totalOpened", 356

I can't find the documentation on this now. Did I imagine this?

Sounds like you are talking about a collection or a dictionary object (from
the scripting runtime I believe).

However, neither are stored in a workbook as persistent data.

Bob,

Maybe this is what you were thinking/confusing?

GetSetting
SaveSetting

These functions will get and save key-value pairs to a special VBA section
of the Registry. The information is not stored in an Excel file but can be
retrieved via VBA code.
