Public Variable Lossing Value

I have just created a userform and have declared the variable as

and the value is set like this

Now I used Application.Run as this is a module that I use in multiple Excel spreadsheets and I did not want to move all the syntax within the user form itself (if possible). Now in this procedure if I do a Debug.Print the value of emp is empty?

Why does the variable loose its value even though it has been declared as public?

Even thought the variable is public in the user form module, the standard module can not see it? But if the variable is public in a standard module the user form module can see it?

Why is that?

Because a standard code module is always 'available' but a userform is only available when it is loaded

('Available' used to describe only, that's not a technical term - more correctly described as 'in scope')
