i'm not as knowledgeable as you, i was just checking how it worked so i could
learn more about arrays. noticed how i "asked" instead of saying "this is how it
should be". i didn't know for sure. it should also probably be:
myarray(n) = "this"
right?

i know i don't type very well, so i understand the typo.

thanks

My typing takes a little to be desired... I should really proof read before
hitting the Post button. You are correct on the String thing. As for the
Array(n) = "that"
it was just a quick n dirty demo. Yes n probably makes more sense...

2 things jim

you have a typo he
dim myArray() as sting (string)

and should this be:

array(n) = "that"

Take a look for help on the redim statement (note the key work preserve is
required to not clear the values of the array when it is resized.)

dim myArray() as sting
dim n as long

n = 0
redim preserve myArray(n)
myarray(0) = "this"
n = 1
redim preserve myarray(n)
myarray(0) = "that"

Dim myArray(0 To n) As String

The dimensions of this array change throughout.

Why can't I use the variable 'n' in the declaration?

And, more importantly, can someone help me solve this problem?

Thanks,
