Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you use the 3rd argument approach for
this part of your application as well (given that it eliminates the need for
a loop altogether)?

Thanks a lot, Per Jessen, Nigel, Jacob, and Rick.
@ Jacob -- My approach was exactly like yours, except your For-loop
construct is more efficient. I see in your code, strE was not
initialized first. In VBA, are all string declarations automatically set
to null in the beginning?

@ Rick -- Your bringing up of the optional 3rd argument gave me another
new idea for implementing another part of my project.

@Nigel and Per Jessen -- Yes, you were right. I should have probably
stated in my original post that my first index was brkout(i)=0, not
brkout(i)=1. I sometimes forget VBA indices start from 0.
