I have now tried a couple of more things. I have changed the global
definition from Public to Private to Global to Dim and back again to
Public. Same result no matter what.
I have even removed the global definition, and I have searched through
ALL the modules after the variable to make sure it's not declared
elsewhere. STILL the error message says that it's already defined! I
would like to know where, because the Find thing (Ctrl+f) can't find
another definition of NDice than the ReDim on which the error occurs!
I have searched for Dim NDice, Public NDice, Private NDice and Global
NDice, nothing found except ReDim NDice (once =E2=80=93 the one on which the
error occurs).

Well, I'll continue searching. I have now made a copy of the whole
document for wild debugging, so I will try the most brutal things I
can think of now, like removing entire modules to see if I can at
least find in what module I need to have a closer look at=E2=80=A6

Any ideas are very welcome! I'm kind of losing my hair here=E2=80=A6 :P


Kind regards
