Is it possible to declare a public variable in vba and assign a default value?

Question

I want to do this but it won\'t compile:

Public MyVariable as Integer = 123

What\'s the best way of achieving this?

Answer 1

Sure you know, but if its a constant then const MyVariable as Integer = 123 otherwise your out of luck; the variable must be assigned an initial value elsewhere.

You could:

public property get myIntegerThing() as integer
    myIntegerThing= 123
end property

In a Class module then globally create it;

public cMyStuff as new MyStuffClass

So cMyStuff.myIntegerThing is available immediately.
