You are just making things worse for yourself.  Creating global variables can cause system wide bugs which are very hard to track down.  I would really advise you to re-think your process.

Hi @RW9,

 

Thanks for the advice.  I found a way to perform my desired procedures using local macros within the program.

I would really really recommend not naming your macro variables or macros's macros. You'll get weird behaviour that you're not expecting and it's just a recipe for debugging hell.
