I have a 5D array. I have counters which I use for the first, third,
fourth, and fifth dimensions when I want to pass values into the array.
However, the length of the second dimension is changing constantly as
I build my routine and I have hard coded a number 9 in it currently. I
need to reference this 9 elsewhere. So as I decide to expand the 2nd
dimension to say 10, I will have to make sure that I change all the
other 9s to 10. Is there a way extract the value that is currently in
the second dimension (i.e. the 9) and pass it to a variable that I can
use elsewhere?

Array1(Counter1, 9, Counter2, Counter3, Counter4) = 250

SecondDimensionVariable = UBound(UnitOfferArray, 2) will only tell me
what I set the max to. I want to know what it currently is?

there is no concept of currently is associated with an array.

Define a constant and use that as the value for the second dimension. Then
you can query the value of the constant

Public Const Myval As Long = 9

Sub ShowConst()
MsgBox Myval
Array1(Counter1, Myval, Counter2, Counter3, Counter4) = 250
End Sub
