For the particular case you describe, I believe you can also use

Dim Item(100,2) As String

I have no view on whether that is "better" than declaring it as a
Variant type.

Declare the array type as Variant. It can hold any data type.

I want to have an array - Item(100,2) where the first column is a string
and
the second column is an integer.

Is this possible? If so how do I declare the variable.
