Checking how an array was Dimmed....
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:59 am
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:
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.
