Can you make an array a global variable? Let's say I have an array of Dates that run from 2000 to 2050 and I fill this array at the beginning of my program. Will all the subs and functions have access to this Dates array? I've tried this out over and over again but I can't seem to get it to work so I have to refill the Dates array in each sub and/or function that needs this info. Am I doing things wrong or is there a limitation in VBA that makes it so arrays can't be global/public?
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Arrays can be public. Where did you declare the array variable?

In a normal module, or a class/worksheet/thisworkbook module?

It's in a normal module but it looks like I solved the problem. I was filling the arrays on startup and assuming they'd stay full. I think I need to fill the arrays each time I run the simulation. This is a lot better than filling these various data arrays 8 times per simulation. Thanks for your help.
