Is it possible

Is it possible to return an Array from a DLL(created with VB) to the Caller VB program. I can pass back variables but not the array ?

An example of the code will be grate.

Thanks

I've never user VB5, but it can't be that different.

Try returning a Variant, or passing in an uninitialized array to be filled. That's the way I go anyway...

Private Function FillArray(arrRet() As String) As Boolean
 
    'Redim the array and fill it.  If the fill is successful,
    'return True.  If it is not successful, or an error is
    'raised, return False.
 
End Function
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim arrRet() As String
Dim x As Long
 
    If FillArray(arrRet) Then
        For x = LBound(arrRet) To UBound(arrRet)
            Debug.Print arrRet(x)
        Next
    Else
        MsgBox "Array Not Filled!"
    End If
 
End Sub

Passing the arway as empty works very well.

Thanks
