declaring public variable value
Hi all,
I have a public variable that is currently declared as string at the top module 1 How and where should I set/define the variable value so that it is the same and available to any macro/procedure in the project/wookbook? currently trying set Pwd = "owntext" ' Pwd is the public variable The value for Pwd is the password for locking/unlocking sheets so I do not want to have to set it more than once if possible.. On a kind of related note is there a way to stop people viewing the macros? I can protect pages, I can prevent the original file being over written, I can even prevent anybody other than me from saving the file at all but this is almost pointless if the user can view & edit macros |

Firstly, you can seta public variable anywhere. As public, it is accessible
to any macro. Second, you do not Set a string variable, just assign it Pwd = "owntext" You can protect a project in the VBE, ToolsPropertiesProtection, but it will only deter a casual onlooker, it is easily circumvented. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Damon" wrote in message ...

Hi Damon, Forgot to respond to the second question: On a kind of related note is there a way to stop people viewing the macros? You can declare the sub as Private. You can put Option Private Module at the top of the module. You could add a dummy parameter to the sub. --- Regards, Norman "Damon" wrote in message ...

Hi Damon.
Apologies, I misread your second question. My suggestions prevent the macros in question from appearing in Excel's macro list. The broader question of hiding code has been addressed by Bob in his more apposite response. --- Regards, Norman "Norman Jones" wrote in message ...
