Redim preserve does not work for me
 

I am trying to understand hoe redim preserve works, but I keep getting run
time error 9

Any idea what is wrong with my redim preserve.
Thank you.
Dan

For example in the bellow:

Public MyReportArray() As Variant
Sub testpreserve()
ReDim MyReportArray(5, 5)
MyReportArray = Range("A5:E5")
ReDim Preserve MyReportArray(6, 6)
MyReportArray = Range("A6:F5")
End Sub

Redim preserve does not work for me
 

From Excel help file....

If you use Preserve, you can only resize the last array dimension and you
can't change the number of dimensions at all.

What Nigel has mentioned is

Dim MyReportArray
ReDim MyReportArray(5, 5)

You can ReDimension to MyReportArray(5,6) or to MyReportArray(5,100)
but cannot
ReDimension to MyReportArray(6,5)

If this post helps click Yes

If you declare array in tthis way: MyReportArray = Range("A6:F5") then you
don't need Redim at all.

Public MyReportArray() As Variant
Sub testpreserve()
MyReportArray = Range("A5:E5")
MyReportArray = Range("A6:F5")
End Sub

worked for me and MyReportArray contained cell contents A6:F5.
