Hi Monique,

You dimension temparray(0 To CellsAcross)
then you make a loop :
For j = 1 To CellsAcross

Next j

The For ... next will actually stop untill j = CellsAcross+1
Therefore, temparray(j) =temparray(CellsAcross +1), wich gives an error
because you exceed the upper bound.

Regards

Jean-Yves

this happens after the loop is complete, so when i type in

datestr = "1/" & temparray(j). it gives me a subscript out of range error.

when should i format the datestr then?

you don't tell excel which array value in temparray to use try that
for instance
dateStr = "1/" & temparray(j-1)
'would give you last value assigned to the temparry
also try maybe
dateStr = "1/" + trim(str(temparray))

If anyone could assist... thanks

Private Sub GetDate(DateRange As String, cellSrc As String, cellStart
As
Range)

Dim setDate As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim myRange As Range
Dim dateStr As String
Dim temparray() As Integer
Dim CellsAcross As Integer

CellsAcross = cellSrc

ReDim temparray(0 To CellsAcross)

Set myRange = cellStart.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, CellsAcross))

setDate = Year(DateRange)

For j = 1 To CellsAcross

temparray(j) = setDate + 1
setDate = setDate + 1

Next j

dateStr = "1/" & temparray
myRange.value = dateStr

End Sub
