Sort of. :-) The static variable will keep its value until Excel decides
to reinitialise the code. This will occur when Excel wants to, not when you
want it to, and will certainly happen each time you open the workbook.

The way to persist information is to put it in cells, as you're doing.

Subject: [ExcelVBA] Prevent macro from being run twice

I've made a sort of psychological test in excel.

I don't want it to be run more than once.

I have made a range called runbefore, and if the value is greater than zero
the macro ends with a msgbox.

At the start of the sub

sub test()

if range("runbefore").value > 0 then
msgbox("run before")
end
endif
.........

range("runbefore").value =1

end sub

can this be done with a static variable - does it keep its value after the
sub is run and finished?

or

in another way?

regards Torstein

Can this be done with a static variable - does the staic variable keep its
value after the macro has run?

or in another way?
