Design Table Problem

    I have a large assembly for which the geometry of individual parts is
    updated through design tables. I use one "master" excel table to
    calculate the overall geometry of the assembly and individual parts,
    and then run a VB program to open each part's design table in order to
    update/pass information from the master excel table. This works
    pretty well, except now I would like to make the parts generic so that
    one part can be used for different assemblies (which would be defined
    by different master tables).

    Is there a way of creating some type of permanent global variables
    which can (1) be updated from excel, and then (2) read by a design
    table when it is opened? I had thought of using system variables for
    this, but not sure if that could be made to work. Maybe some sort of
    database server?
