Hello all,

I want to create a dynamic array in visual basic for excel. Somehow I am
doing something wrong with the following code.


dim my_array as double
dim my_integer as integer

my_integer = 3
redim my_array(my_integer) as double



this code doesn't seem to work in excel 97. Does anybody have an idea
how this should be done? The value of the variable my_integer is not
known at the start of the program.

thanks in advance,
Koos

dim my_array() as double
dim my_integer as integer

my_integer = 3
redim my_array(my_integer)

Should work. Declare my_array as a dynamic array by putting brackets after
it in its initial declaration.


You might have seen a variant redim'd without this type of declaration - but
that is because variant can hold anything

dim my_array as variant
dim my_integer as integer

my_integer = 3
redim my_array(my_integer)

would have worked as well, but a variant takes up more space.

Thanks for the help,
the use of brackets was the trick ;-)
