From the posts thus far, am I right in understanding that
VB Code:
  1. dim strArr() as String
is a STRING array, and
VB Code:
  1. strArr = Split(arg1, arg2)
is a VARIANT populated with strings and that there is a difference between the two?

If so
VB Code:
  1. Private Sub Command1_Click()

  2. Dim strT As String

  3. Dim varT As Variant

  4. Dim strX() As String

  5. Dim varX As Variant

  6.  
  7. strT = "A-TEST-FOR-FINDING-OUT-WHAT-SPLIT-DOES"

  8. varT = "A-TEST-FOR-FINDING-OUT-WHAT-SPLIT-DOES"

  9. MsgBox TypeName(strT)

  10. MsgBox TypeName(varT)

  11.  
  12. strT = varT

  13. MsgBox TypeName(strT)

  14. strT = "A-TEST-FOR-FINDING-OUT-WHAT-SPLIT-DOES"

  15. varT = strT

  16. MsgBox TypeName(varT)

  17.  
  18.  
  19.  
  20. strX = Split(strT, "-")

  21. varX = Split(varT, "-")

  22. MsgBox TypeName(strX)

  23. MsgBox TypeName(varX)

  24.  
  25. strX = varX

  26. MsgBox TypeName(strX)

  27. strX = Split(strT, "-")

  28. varX = strX

  29. MsgBox TypeName(varX)

  30.  
  31. ReDim strX(12) As String

  32. strX(0) = "W"

  33. strX(1) = "H"

  34. strX(2) = "A"

  35. strX(3) = "T"

  36. strX(4) = " "

  37. strX(5) = "I"

  38. strX(6) = "S"

  39. strX(7) = " "

  40. strX(8) = "T"

  41. strX(9) = "H"

  42. strX(10) = "I"

  43. strX(11) = "S"

  44. strX(12) = "?"

  45.  
  46. MsgBox TypeName(strX)

  47. strX = varX

  48. MsgBox TypeName(varX)

  49.     

  50. End Sub
does not show any other result other than STRING() and/or STRING for the variables. Using VarType gives the undifferentiable result of 8200 for both as well, though I am not able to deciphet that result.
