All VBA arrays start with location 0, so this Dim statement creates an array whose locations range from myArray(0) to myArray(5). Populating Arrays: The Array Function If you want to populate an array with a series of values, use the Array function. The function allows you to quickly assign a range of comma-delimited values to an array. For instance: myArray = Array(12,3,13,64,245,75) To use the Array function, simply declare a variant variable, then assign the values of the array to the variable using the Array function.
However, the more complex your program becomes, the more you find yourself repeating code within these event handlers, and at this point you should start moving related blocks of code into their own separate functions. Use Event Handlers to Call Functions and Methods I would recommend that you keep the code in your event handlers to an absolute minimum, using them simply to call methods within a class or to call functions within the project. You will find that your code becomes easier to follow, code reuse is maximized, and maintenance time for the project is reduced.
