ExcelBanter - Public array

This isn't an array issue, it is a scope issue. Public variables are
visible within their VB project, not in other VB projects. There are two
ways around this I think. One is to set a reference to the project that has
the array in the project that wants to access it. You will first have to
change the name of at least one of the VB projects (from VBAProject) so they
are different.

The other way is to create a function in the project that has the array that
passes the array to the function's caller. And then use the Run method in
the other project to call that function and receive the array back:

In project with array:

Public Arr() As String

Sub SetArray()
ReDim Arr(1 To 2)
Arr(1) = 10
Arr(2) = 20
End Sub

Function PassArray() As Variant
PassArray = Arr
End Function

In the other project:

Sub GetArray()
Dim MyArray As Variant
MyArray = Run("BookWithArray.xls!PassArray")
MsgBox MyArray(2)
End Sub
