Hello pooky,

Public variables and constants can only be declared in Standard VBA modules. Variables, Constants, Sub and Functions declared in Standard VBA modules are visible to all other parts of your VBA project.

Variables or constants declared as public in Worksheet modules will throw this error. Move the statement to the top of any Standard Module in your project. If you don't have one then add it.
How to Add a Standard VBA Module to Your Project

1. Open the VB Editor by pressing the keys ALT+F11.
2. Open the Project Explorer window using CTRL+R.
3. Add a Module using the keys ALT+I then press the M key.
