You can't reset a group of individually named variables all at once... they
would have to be done one at a time. However, you could make use of an Enum and an array to do what you want... you can "reset" an array using the Erase commands. As a totally made up example, lets say your original variable were named utensils and you assigned two numerical counts and one text count to them, print them out and then clear the variables as follows... Dim Spoons As Long, Knives As String, Forks As Long Spoons = 1 Knives = "Two" Forks = 3 Debug.Print Spoons, Knives, Forks << Clear the variable Debug.Print Spoons, Knives, Forks Of course, the "<< Clear the variable " part is what cannot be done with a single command. However, you could do this code using the concept I outlined above as follows... Enum Utensils Spoons = 0 Knives Forks End Enum Sub Test() Dim U(0 To 2) As Variant U(Spoons) = 1 U(Knives) = "Two" U(Forks) = 3 Debug.Print U(Spoons), U(Knives), U(Forks) Erase C Debug.Print U(Spoons), U(Knives), U(Forks) End Sub You could name the array anything you want... I simply chose U (for the word Utensils) just to keep the code short. Using the Enum allows you to reference the array element by the familiar name you originally used for the variable name. Now, because U is an array, all its elements can be cleared with the single Erase command. As for what Type to dimension the array as... I used Variant because I wanted to demonstrate that different data types could all be erased at once... if your variable were all of the same data type, you could just Dim the array as that data type to make your code more efficient. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Luke" wrote in message ... The subject speaks for itself. If I have, say, 10 variables and I want to set them all equal to 0, is there a quick and simple way to do it in one, fell swoop or do I have to do each one individually? I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking something extremely simple here. |
