Hi

You got it right,

And yes you should always declare all your variables as the desired
type, see the site below

Oh, I think I understand now. *Let me parrot it back to see if I got it now.

When I declared it as Variant (implicitly) and assigned a Range to it, I
made the object type Range, as intended.

But by assigning Array subsequently, VBA interpreted that as if I intended
to change the object type.

By using ".Value", I am clearly telling VBA that I want to treat the object
as Range. *(Well, it is telling VBA that I want to use the current
variable's type, which I hope has a member Value.)

But it sounds like it is better practice for me to declare rng as Range,
since that it is my intent.

Thanks to all who responded.

Hi

The rng is implicit declared as a Variant, so the array is just
assigned to the rng variable.

To make the it work declare rng as Range, or use rng.Value=Array(...).
Using both will also work.

Sub testit()
Dim rng as Range
Set rng = Range("b2:d2")
rng.Value = Array(21, 22, 23)
End Sub

Hopes this helps.

The following does what I want:

Sub testit()
Range("b2:d2") = Array(21, 22, 23)
End Sub

But I would prefer to use a variable instead of Range("b2:d2"). (Part of a
larger macro.)

Why doesn't the following work? More importantly, how can I make it work?

Sub testit()
Dim rng
Set rng = Range("b2:d2")
rng = Array(21, 22, 23)
