Using dictionary in different userform

[easyhoting]

Hello all,

Does anyone know how to passover a dictionary from one userform to the next userform? In the program I am trying to pass on the dictionary generated in the first userform to the second userform. on initialization of the second userform, the keys from the dictionary will be populated and will be added to a combobox of the second userform. When I run this program, the dictionary was successfully created in the first userform, but it cannot be passed on to the second userform and the dictionary would show up empty. I am wondering what can be done so that the values stored in dictionary can be retained for the second userform.

Thanks

Dim dict
Dim dict_keys

'First userform
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    dict.Add 1.01, Array("a", "b", "c", "d")
    dict.Add 1.02, Array("e", "f", "g", "h")
    UserForm2.Show
End Sub


'Second userform
Private Sub userform_Initialize()
    dict_keys = dict.keys
    For i = 0 To dict_keys.Count - 1
        ComboBox1.AddItem (dict_keys(i))
    Next
End Sub

This worked for Me
Declare the Variable "Dict" as "Public at top of basic Module.

Public dict

The code for userform2 "Initialize" as below:-
NB:- I placed a CommandButton on userform2 (as below)to show the item (2) from each Dictionary Key, thought it might be helpful !!!

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
MsgBox dict.Item(Val(Me.ComboBox1))(2)
End Sub
Private Sub userform_Initialize()
   ComboBox1.List = dict.keys
End Sub
