This i'm sure will be a simple one for somebody

Where do I define a variable in my code so that it is available for other sheets within the same workbook?
I have a Workbook Open () sub which assigns the next empty row on my bet recording sheet to variable blr however when I try to refer to blr
in a different sheet module I get
Run Time Error 1004
Application-defined or Object-defined error

Thanks Duncan
