I want to have an array - Item(100,2) where the first column is a string and
the second column is an integer.

Is this possible? If so how do I declare the variable.

Dan

Declare the array type as Variant. It can hold any data type.

Thanks, I thought there was a way.

For the particular case you describe, I believe you can also use

Dim Item(100,2) As String

I have no view on whether that is "better" than declaring it as a
Variant type.

For my own education, what would be advantages and disadvantages to
using a user-defined type for this kind of situation?

Type myitems
a as string
b as integer
End Type

Sub test()
Dim item(100) as myitems

Code:
--------------------

End sub

where the variable is referenced using item(i).a="somestring" and item(i).b=someinteger
