I have the following code for handling userforms on my spreadsheet VBA macros:

Option Explicit Public saved_vocab As String Public saved_num As String Public saved_def As String Public saved_ex As String Private Sub Save_Click() Dim low As Integer Dim high As Integer Dim selected As Integer low = 1 high = Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown).Row Range(Cells(low, 1), Cells(high, 1)).Find(what:=vocab.Text, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _ MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate selected = ActiveCell.Row saved_vocb = Cells(selected, 1).Text saved_num = Cells(selected, 2).Text saved_def = Cells(selected, 3).Text saved_ex = Cells(selected, 4).Text Cells(selected, 1) = vocab.Text Cells(selected, 2) = num.Text Cells(selected, 3) = definition.Text Cells(selected, 4) = example.Text End Sub Private Sub undo_Click() Cells(selected, 1) = saved_vocab Cells(selected, 2) = saved_num Cells(selected, 3) = saved_def Cells(selected, 4) = saved_ex End Sub 

What I want to do is save the information properly in saved_??? string values so that I can access it properly when I decide to click the "Undo" button to execute the second function. However, when I execute the second function, information previously saved in saved_??? variables are gone perhaps b/c of myself handling variable scopes improperly. What would be the easiest way to accomplish what I want to do? Thanks in advance for the advices.

At a glance, I can see that the variable selected is declared inside the Save_Click() Subroutine and it is used in the undo_Click() subroutine.

The variable selected needs to be declared outside the subroutines along with your other global variables such as saved_vocab, saved_num, etc.

Option Explicit Public saved_vocab As String Public saved_num As String Public saved_def As String Public saved_ex As String Public selected As Integer 'declaration added 

Then remove the existing declarion for selected inside Save_Click()

I think you want to put the Global Variables in a 'normal' Module, not a Sheet Module.
