Default Determining whether dynamic array has been used

Say I've got an array of user-defined variables. I don't know how many
"slots" I'm going to need, so I dimension it as a dynamic array.

Dim udtSheets() As MyDataType

When I want to add a new slot, I get the UBound.

ReDim Preserve udtSheets(UBound(udtSheets)+1)

However, the first time I try this, I get a "subscript out of range" error
because the zero-eth slot hasn't been done yet. I'm trying to find a VBA
function that can tell me whether that has happened yet. Something like

If HasBeenRedimmed(udtSheets) Then

ReDim Preserve udtSheets(UBound(udtSheets)+1)

Else

ReDim Preserve udtSheets(0)

End If


I tried "IsArray" and it returns True even if there have been no slots used.
For some reason I can't create my own function because Excel won't let me
pass a UDT array as a function parameter.

TIA.
