Two things,
1. I dont understand your objective. What are you trying to achieve? what do you want to store in your environment variable?
2. did you create the environement variable under test settings->Environment->Userdefined?

If you want to create an object and use it across use it as a function. You can call this function in your various actions.
Here is how environment variable works,
Code:
Under Action 1:
Environment.Value("oStringValue") = "LearnQTP"
In Action 2, Action 3, Action 4..etc etc. you can access this stored value as,
oMyVar = Environment.Value("oStringValue")
msgbox oMyVar ' this will give you LearnQTP which is the value the variable holds.
