I have several variables declared at the top of my UserForm (outside of any procedure), some of them are ranges, ListObjects, and PivotTables. Is it necessary to use

Code:
Set variable = nothing

before closing the UserForm to remove them from memory, or will they automatically go out of scope when the UserForm is closed - by clicking the X on the upper-right of the UserForm?

My understanding was that UserForm level variables are similar to Module level variables, and I was reading here (http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/variable-scope-lifetime.htm) and it sounds like Module Level variables are retained until the Workbook is closed or End is used;


"Its value is retained unless the Workbook closes or the End Statement is used."

But I'm still not positive this is exactly the same as a UserForm.
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
They are local to the instance of the form, so they are destroyed when it is closed (not Hidden).
