A variable is referred to as public if it can be accessed by
code either from within the same file (the same module) where it is declared or
from code outside its module. To declare a public variable, instead of Dim,
you use the Public keyword. Here is an example:
|
Option Explicit
Private LastName As String
Public FullName As String
Sub Exercise()
Dim FirstName As String
FirstName = "Patricia"
LastName = "Katts"
FullName = FirstName & " " & LastName
End Sub
As a reminder, a public variable is available to code inside
and outside of its module. This means that you can create a module, declare a
public variable in it, and access that variable in another file (module) where
needed.
