Default Static variable

Hi, In one sub Im using a static variable to keep count. With this Im
using a timer to run through the macro at certain intervals. On a
userform I use 2 command buttons, one to start the timer and another
to stop the timer. This all works well apart from when I stop the
timer, then restart my Static continues from its last count. In the
sub with the static variable I can use 'Erase whatever'. Because the
Stop command does not execute that sub, is there a way to globally
clear the static variable without closing the workbook.
Regards Robert

Default Static variable

Hi

You could change the static variable to a public variable (declared in
a general code module outside of any subs and not in something like
Sheet1). It should have much the same functionality as static
(preserving values between calls unless the project is reset) with the
added advantage that any sub can change its value - so you're userform
subs would be able to change it as well.
