Can anyone tell me if excel has an in built variable for
each workbook simular to the words
Activedocument.Variables("")

If so what is it please i cannot seem to find and
referance to such a variable.

If not does anyone know of a way of storing information
in a variable that is specific only to that workbook.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi
one way would be to use the property
CustomDocumentProperties
of your workbook (see the VBA help for this topic)

You may also consider defining a name (menu: 'Insert -
Name - Define') and use this to store your variables

You can use 2 ways:

activeworkbook.Names.Add "ajay","100"
?activeworkbook.names("ajay").Value
=100
Note that the values of variables are always strings and
have a perfix =.

The other way

activeworkbook.Worksheets(1).Cells(1,1).Id ="100"
?activeworkbook.Worksheets(1).Cells(1,1).Id
100
?10*activeworkbook.Worksheets(1).Cells(1,1).Id
1000

This retains the type of the value but does have the
overhead of remembering where the value is held (there is
no variable name!).
