    Dim multi dimensional array

    How do I dimension a dynamic array to contain a “text Key” in field one, and a computed double in field two, of each element?

    Re: Dim multi dimensional array

    It is not clear what you are asking.
    Are you wanting to ReDim an array?
    Or are you wanting to create a User-defined type (with a string and double)?
    Or are you wanting a Variant array?
    (What is a "text key"?)

    Re: Dim multi dimensional array

    If what you are asking is how to create a two-dimensional array with text in the first dimension (string) and number in the second dimension (double) then I would probably suggest declaring it as a variant type. Other less favorable option would be to use an array of arrays and declare each array type seperately (each dimension gets its own array).

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry if I got the terminology mixed up.
    I want to create a user-defined array with a string and double.

    Thanks Shg,
    That gives me the starting point I was looking for.
    I'll get back to share what I end up with when it's all done.

    Re: Dim multi dimensional array

    Shg,

    I'm back for more help. When I attempt to use the "type" code syntax:

    I "loose" my procedure. Is there some "trick" I'm missing to insert the "Type" code syntax above my procedure name?

    Thanks.

    Re: Dim multi dimensional array

    You type the "Type" at the beginning of a Module outside of any procedure. That way every procedure in that module can use it. If you need more than just one module to use it, you add the word Public before type. And if you want only one module to use it you can add private.
