Strand,

Only in addition to Armin, my own practise is that I never use a Dim on
global level, not even in a module.

(And you cannot use the other Accessors in a method)

If you have done that twice than you understand direct the meaning why.

Since you insist(!)... Please SIMPLE answers to

1 Is 'Private' the same as 'Dim'? Are the words interchangeable?

2 Is scoping of variables the same as in vb6? ie if I dimension as
variable in a subroutine is it valid only for that subroutine; in a form
valid for the whole form?

3 Do I have to erase an array after use to release memory? Destroy does
not seem to work.

4 Do I have to erase (or destroy) variables after use in a sub (say at
the end) or is it automatic in a sub based declaration?

5 What is the significance of the word 'Protected' before some subs?

That should do for now!
 
Would not be helpful as it was in the help, it does nothing.
Sorry it does the same as nothing in a method.
Sorry setting to nothing means nothing for an object.

So writing nothing does miss nothing.

I know, but I was curious how Mr.Strand would do it.
Erase Statement (Visual Basic)

For some reason it's not in VB2008 Express help...

A little one, because I've read the thread again.

One of the main things of managed code is managing the used memory.
If you don't rely on it and do it yourself, than the chance on a memory leak
is high.

I've written this too (because I never remember what the default access level
is if I write 'Dim' only), but as I'm hardly trying to keep it short, I
removed it.

But if the method runs longer after the Erase, the array
is free for GC, isn't it? However I would use "var=Nothing"
instead (if at all).
