I have a VBA Module named MasterFormulas. In it will be several
sub-routines. The first one starts like this:

Option Explicit
Public Sub MRR()

'Begin General Declerations

Dim WSDSD As Worksheet
Set WSDSD = Worksheets("Data SD")
Dim WSRep As Worksheet
Set WSRep = Worksheets("Report")
Dim WSCri As Worksheet


In every sub-routine in the module MasterFormulas, I want Excel to remember
these declerations. How can I avoid having to re-declare these in every
sub-routine?

Hi Shawn,

Declare the variables at module level.

You can initialise them and then use them throughout the module, e.g.:


Option Explicit

Dim WSDSD As Worksheet
Dim WSRep As Worksheet
Dim WSCri As Worksheet


Sub Initialise()
Set WSDSD = Worksheets(1) '("Data SD")
Set WSRep = Worksheets(2) '("Report")
Set WSCri = Worksheets(3) '("YourSheet")

End Sub


Sub Tester()
Debug.Print WSDSD.Name, WSRep.Name, WSCri.Name,

End Sub

Regards,
Norman

So...I can put the Dim statements at the module level but have to put the:

Set WSDSD = Worksheets(1) '("Data SD")
Set WSRep = Worksheets(2) '("Report")
Set WSCri = Worksheets(3) '("YourSheet")


statements at the begining of each sub routine?

Yes.

but have to put the:

Set WSDSD = Worksheets(1) '("Data SD")
Set WSRep = Worksheets(2) '("Report")
Set WSCri = Worksheets(3) '("YourSheet")


statements at the begining of each sub routine?

No.

You can initialise them once (as in my example Sub Initialise) and then use
them anywhere in the module - as in the demo Tester sub that I showed.

Shawn,

From Help:

Variables declared with Dim at the module level are available to all
procedures within the module. At the procedure level, variables are
available only within the procedure.

Variables declared using the Public statement are available to all
procedures in all modules in all applications unless Option Private Module
is in effect; in which case, the variables are public only within the
project in which they reside.

Since you are talking about within a module - you probably want to Dim the
variable at the top of the module.
