Passing Variables Between Procedures
 

I have a work book with six sheets
Sheet1, Sheet2. Sheet3
Sheet1UL, Sheet2UL. Sheet3UL

The flowing code works as it should for the first sheet in the array passed
to the second procedure €œClearDestination€�. When it jumps back up to the
first procedure €œArrayLoop€�, sheetVar(i) holds the next sheet in the array
correctly but when it moves back to €œClearDestination€�, (sheetVar(i) & "UL")
still holds Sheet1UL. For the life of me I cannot figure out why it dose not
change to Sheet2UL.

ARRRRRR!

Appreciatively,
Arturo


Public NumCopies As Long
Public sheetVar As Variant

Sub ArrayLoop()
sheetVar = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")
For i = LBound(sheetVar) To UBound(sheetVar)
Set sh = Worksheets(sheetVar(i))
Sheets(sheetVar(i)).Select
ClearDestination
Next
End Sub

Sub ClearDestination()
Dim myRange2 As Range

Set myRange2 = Sheets((sheetVar(i) & "UL")).Range("A2:N65000")
myRange2.ClearContents
End Sub

It's occasions like these that convince you to go into the preferences and
require "Option Explicit" in all your modules. In the Visual Basic Editor,

Tools - Options... - Editor tab - Require Variable Declaration

That will also protect you from typos in variable names.

The problem you're having has to do with what's in the variable i when you
get to the ClearDestination sub.

You might want to re-do the ClearDestination sub so that it requires an
argument or two. That would be better than throwing everything into the
global namespace.
