Checking how an array was Dimmed....

[Arcee_uk]

If I Dim an array to say 34 elements how I can get my program to check what that array was dimmed to, I.e the maximum elements available?

E.g I use the command:

Code: Select all

Dim Arrary.l(45)

My program needs to redim this array by 6 to make it larger, but doesn't know how big the array was. So it needs to check and see, then add 6 to the answer and ReDim it ready for use.

I know I could store the figure the array was dimmed to, but I just wondered if there is a command that will find out for me which I could use locally within a procedure rather than globalising another variable to hold the number.

I cannot see a command in the user guide that does this (unless I am blind which is possible) and nor can I see an answer on here when I searched for it.

If anyone can tell me how you do it (or point me to a post I missed) I would be very greatfull.

Thanks all.

Arcee.
