Hello:

I have a variable which contains a comma delimited list contained in a
database variable e.g. "5,6,9,10,55,42" - I want to hand this list to
an array function to get it to populate an array, such as follows
(where rst!Q10ACode is the database variable):

Dim ListArray as Variant
Dim Substring1 as String

SubString1 = rst!Q10ACode
ListArray = Array(SubString1)

________________
When I do this, it returns the string length as 14, so I know it's
getting the string, but the UBound of the array is 0, and if I try to
access ListArray(1) and get an index out of bounds error. Can someone
let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks.

Jim
 
hi Jim,

Click to expand...
Use Split():

Dim arrStrings() As String

arrStrings() = Split(rst![Q10ACode], ",")
MsgBox arrStrings(1)

You may use LBound(arrStrings()) and UBound(arrStrings()) to determine
the array boundaries.
