I think you need to Redim logical_layer() as you increment logicallayernumber
(you are incrementing by one each time, I hope?) Something like

logicallayernumber = Mid(Buf(1), 9, 2)
Redim Preserve logical_layer(logicallayernumber)

Hope this helps,

Guys,

I am not able to figure out why I am getting the subscript out of range
error for the when the below sub is ran...the problem line is:

logical_layer(logicallayernumber) = Buf(buf_idx)

The sub opens up a file then parses each line until the required line is
found and then puts every word in that line into an array named Buf.

I'd like to take the value from the Buf array and put into another (new)
array named logical_layer - can you help me figure out what's wrong?

Thanks for help.

Buf() = qc_Split(strLine)

logicallayernumber = Mid(Buf(1), 9, 2)

If logicallayernumber < "00" Then
