Define a public variable

Hi ALl

I want to define a public variable and i am using the following code but it gives me Compile error Invalid outside procedure.

option explicit
public ABC1 AS VARIABLE
ABC1="FALSE"

Any help would be much appreciated.

ABC1 = "FALSE"

should be either part of sub or function. The top party is for declaring variables only

You can not also use the word "Variable" as it is reserved word

Public ABC1 As Long
