Access to internal variables not linked to a screen

Access to internal variables not linked to a screen

Hello,
I have created some internal variables which are not linked to any of the screens. However I would like to use their values in a VBA macro run either by a button or by a time function.
If I try to get their values by method:
thisProject.Variables.Item("intern1").value
it looks as if they were not initialised unless they are linked to any of the objects in the active screen. Is it possible to initialize them during the application boot?
All the Best,
Piotr
