    Resolved [RESOLVED] assign variable to array size

    HI,
    I have done this in VB6 but it is possible to assign a variable created to an array size in VBA?
    Say'
    Dim maxtblApproverRecords As Integer
    maxtblApproverRecords = 7
    Dim approverNames(maxtblApproverRecords - 1) As Variant
    It keeps getting me "constant expression expected". How do I do it otherwise?
    Thanks.

    It's the same as in VB6.. declare the array without a size, then use ReDim to set the size.

    Also, look into the Preserve argument of ReDim if you need to adjust the array size without loosing the data already populated in it.
