James,
The array containing the names needs to be an array of variants,
not a variant containing an array...
Dim MyArray() as Variant

Load your array with the particular shape names, then use it like this...
Dim shpGroup as Excel.ShapeRange
Set shpGroup = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(MyArray)
shpGroup.Group

I have a number of shapes on my worksheet. I want to group only SOME
of these. I can fill an array with the names of the shapes I want to
group, but how do I tell VBA which shapes to group together? TIA,
James
