Default Losing my array from one sub to another

All,

I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I am trying to pass
three arrays from one sub to another. I have made
arrSelectedFiles/Species/Layers global arrays by putting them above the Sub
routines. When I populate these arrays in the second function, I can see the
values, but when it returns to the original array, they are not populated.
Here is my code:


Dim arrSelectedFiles() As String
Dim arrSelectedSpecies() As String
Dim arrSelectedLayers() As String

Sub PivotTableGraphs(lngFileCount)

'Go to Data Page and Populate arrays with options to graph
ReDim arrFileList(1 To lngFileCount) As String
ReDim arrSpeciesList(1 To 10) As String
ReDim arrLayers(1 To 4) As String

Sheets("Data").Select
Range("D3").Select

For j = 1 To lngFileCount
arrFileList(j) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 14 * (j - 1)).Value
Next j

For j = 1 To 10
arrSpeciesList(j) = ActiveCell.Offset(5, j - 3).Value
Next j

arrLayers(1) = "Top Layer"
arrLayers(2) = "Mid Layer"
arrLayers(3) = "Bottom Layer"
arrLayers(4) = "All Layers"

'Select Files to Plot
Call SelectToGraph(arrFileList, lngFileCount, 1)

'Select Species to Plot
Call SelectToGraph(arrSpeciesList, lngFileCount, 2)

'Select Layers to Plot
Call SelectToGraph(arrLayers, lngFileCount, 3)

'Create Graphs
For FileNum = 1 To UBound(arrSelectedFiles)
If Not arrSelectedFiles(FileNum) = "Not" Then
For LayerNum = 1 To UBound(arrSelectedLayers)
If Not arrSelectedLayers(LayerNum) = "Not" Then
'Create Graph
Else: End If
Next SpecNum
Next LayerNum
Else: End If
Next FileNum

End Sub


Sub SelectToGraph(arrList, lngFileCount, GraphOption)
Dim i, TopPos As Integer
Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet
Dim CurrentSheet As Worksheet
Dim cb As CheckBox
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

' Add a temporary dialog sheet
Set CurrentSheet = ActiveSheet
Set PrintDlg = ActiveWorkbook.DialogSheets.Add

' Add the checkboxes
TopPos = 40
For i = 1 To UBound(arrList)
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes.Add 78, TopPos, 150, 16.5
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes(i).Text = arrList(i)
TopPos = TopPos + 13
Next i

' Move the OK and Cancel buttons
PrintDlg.Buttons.Left = 240

' Set dialog height, width, and caption
With PrintDlg.DialogFrame
.Height = Application.Max _
(68, PrintDlg.DialogFrame.Top + TopPos - 34)
.Width = 230
If GraphOption = 1 Then
.Caption = "Select Files to Graph"
ElseIf GraphOption = 2 Then
.Caption = "Select Species to Graph"
Else
.Caption = "Select Layers to Graph"
End If
End With

' Change tab order of OK and Cancel buttons
' so the 1st option button will have the focus
PrintDlg.Buttons("Button 2").BringToFront
PrintDlg.Buttons("Button 3").BringToFront

' Display the dialog box
CurrentSheet.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

ReDim Preserve arrSelectedFiles(1 To lngFileCount)
ReDim Preserve arrSelectedSpecies(1 To 10)
ReDim Preserve arrSelectedLayers(1 To 4)

i = 1

If PrintDlg.Show Then
For Each cb In PrintDlg.CheckBoxes
If cb = 1 Then
If GraphOption = 1 Then
arrSelectedFiles(i) = arrList(i)
ElseIf GraphOption = 2 Then
arrSelectedSpecies(i) = arrList(i)
Else
arrSelectedLayers(i) = arrList(i)
End If
Else
If GraphOption = 1 Then
arrSelectedFiles(i) = "Not"
ElseIf GraphOption = 2 Then
arrSelectedSpecies(i) = "Not"
Else
arrSelectedLayers(i) = "Not"
End If
End If
i = i + 1
Next cb
End If

' Delete temporary dialog sheet (without a warning)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
PrintDlg.Delete

' Reactivate original sheet
CurrentSheet.Activate
End Sub
