Can one store a string in a Array element?
 

2003/2007

If I: Dim myArray(1 to 2) as long

myArray(1) = "+" does not work as I get a type mismatch.

I thought that array elements were like a Variable.

myArray(1) = 25 works fine

I know that one can initialize an array like array("a", "b")

Why can I not store a string to myArray(1)???

Because you dimension myArray as *long*, not *string*

Dim myArray(1 to 2) As String
myArray(1) = "+"
