Can a worksheet object be declared globally in Excel VBA?

Question

I\'m refactoring a number of modules in an Excel 2003 workbook and the same set of worksheets are declared in each procedure in each module; I\'d like to just declare them o

Answer 1

'1. Insert a module

'2. Declare worksheet public variable in the module as follows

Public xlwkGSModel As Worksheet

'3. Instantiate this public variable in the application load event

Sub Workbook_Open()

   Set xlwkGSModel = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("gs_model")

End Sub

'Now you can refer the gs_model worksheet with the xlwkGSModel variable

'For example

dim x as string

x = xlwkGSModel.Cells(1,1)
