I have a 1-dimensional array whose members are single letter values, i.e.

V(1) = "A"
V(2) = "B"
V(3) = "C"
V(4) = "A"
V(5) = "B"
V(6) = "A"
V(7) = "B"
V(8) = "A"
V(9) = "B"
V(10) = "C"

I'd like to create a new array that is a filtered version of the array
above, where all duplicates are removed so that each member of the new array
is unique and not repeated, i.e.

A(1) = "A"
A(2) = "B"
A(3) = "C"

Any ideas on the best method? I can possibly visualize doing this with some
loops, but I'm having trouble getting my head around it. Any ideas welcome.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! One question: what kind of object is Elt?
It's not a Keyword, is it? I realize it represents an element in the array
v, so should Elt be dimmed as a String if v contains String values?

Elt must be declared as Variant to be used in a For Each loop
So you may just add:
Dim Elt
or
Dim Elt As Variant
