Code termination resets public variable
 

A variable, boolRenameSheets, is declared in a module at the module (General)
level. Speudo Code is below with the important declarations...

boolRenameSheets is being Watched (Break When Value Changes); the code never
breaks after modPublicMacros.runSimulationQuestion has begun.

Thank you all in advance for helping me with this conundrum.


Here is the process...

A) Set boolRenameSheets = True (occurs when ribbon is first accessed (ie
open workbook) and when checkbox is ticked) this module the only place that
contains 'boolRenameSheets ='. elsewhere "if boolRenameSheets then" is
used... this make it very evident the my code does not change
boolRenameSheets.
B) ReDimensions (not-preserve by design) populates some arrays
C) Runs code in a DLL that uses the arrays
D) deletes sheets meeting a specified criteria
E) creates new sheets and populates cells on these sheets
F) MsgBox indicating the process completed (and also boolRenameSheets)

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS:
0 - ribbonCallBacks.cbSetRenameSheets) Set boolRenameSheets = True using the
ribbon

1 - modPublicMacros.runSimulationQuestion) Run the special code...

2 - modSpecialCode.runSimulation) Display boolRenameSheets immediately
before code execution stops
boolRenameSheets = True

3 - Immediate Window) Use the immediate window to verify boolRenameSheets
immediately after step 2 finishes
? boolRenameSheets
False

I don't know about the ribbon, but does any of your code use End (not End Sub,
End Function, End if), just plain old End.

This will reset those variables.

Code termination resets public variable
 

No instances of "End" exist. (no one here had tough of that, thank you for
this tip).

Here is the last part of "Private Sub runSimulation"
....
....
....
' Clear variables declared by solomonrunSPSLFeed
xlCalcType = Empty

' Error handler
On Error GoTo 0: MsgBox "A) " & boolRenameSheets & vbTab &
boolPrintDerivatives: Exit Sub

runSPSL_Error:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " (" & Err.Description & ") in procedure
runSPSL of Module modSpyroSPSL", vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Error"

End Sub


When the whole process begins with boolRenameSheets set to True, the message
box shows:
"A) True"

So I *know* that boolRenameSheets has kept the value up until this dialog
box is displayed. After "OK" is clicked; boolRenameSheets returns false in
the immediate window.


(Can one access the check box i have in the ribbon? maybe I can get its
value rather than use boolRenameSheets.)

I don't know anything about the ribbon.

Maybe someone else will jump in.

Code termination resets public variable
 

As i study this issue today, my "fix" to the non-trappable "<application
error" still occurs. This is my fix..

For i = wkbActive.Worksheets.Count To 1 Step -1
If (wkbActive.Worksheets(i).CodeName Like strDeleteSheet & "*") Then
Debug.Print "before " & boolRenameSheets
wkbActive.Worksheets(i).Delete
Debug.Print "after " & boolRenameSheets
End If
Next i

Ok, this is NOT where boolRenameSheets is reset. I ran the code
back-to-back after setting boolRenameSheets to True... Here is the output
from the code.

before True
after True
before False
(watch causes break)
after False

The watch causes code to break on the line: Debug.Print "after " &
boolRenameSheets as indicated above. HOWEVER, the value did not change.

Does this help any one help me? <shakes his cloudy head
