Public Variable in ThisWorkbook
 

I want to declare some public variables as soon as I open the workbook. Can
I do that in "ThisWorkbook" or do I need to put it in a module and have
"ThisWorkbook" Open event call a routine to set the public variables?

If the variables are going to be used in procedures outside the
ThisWorkbook module, you should declare them in the declarations
section of a regular code module, and initialize them in the Open
event procedure.
