ReDim statements can no longer be used to declare array variables

[John A Grandy]

inside a procedure , i code


Dim values(1) As Object

.... various other lines of code ...

ReDim values(2) As Object


According to the docs , I should be able to do this ...

However , I receive the compile-time message "ReDim statements can no longer
be used to declare array variables."

Right - you have to code:

Dim values() As Object

.... various other lines of code ...

ReDim values(2) As Object

You can't declare it as a 2 element fixed size array and then resize
it as a 3 element array. You have to declare it without fixed size.
(In VB6 you used to be able to declare an array with the ReDim
statement - ugliness heaped on top of ugliness.

Hi John,

Instead of using the fixex array have a look to the arraylist which is much
easier to handle.

I hope this helps?

ReDim values(2) As Object

Simply remove the 'As Object' from the 'ReDim' line. If you don't want to
loose the values stored in the array, use 'ReDim Preserve'.

That will work now.
