Hello,

I am trying to get a value in one macro to be used in another.

For example,

If macro FavoriteNumber has the following code:

Code:
Sub FavoriteNumber()

Dim FavNumber

FavNumber = InputBox("What is your favorite number?")
Trim FavNumber

End Sub

How do I get the returned value of FavNumber to be used in the macro MultiplyNumber?

Code:
Sub MultiplyNumber()

FavNumber = FavNumber * 5

MsgBox = ("My favorite number is " & FavNumber & ".")

End Sub

Thanks for any help you can give
