Array already dimensioned

A static array can only be dimensioned once. This error has the following causes and solutions:

• You attempted to change the dimensions of a static array with a ReDim statement; only dynamic arrays can be redimensioned. Either remove the redimensioning or use a dynamic array. To define a dynamic array, use a Dim, Public, Private, or Static statement with empty parentheses.

  For example: Dim MyArray() In a procedure, you can define a dynamic array with the ReDim or Static statement using a variable for the number of elements:

  Dim MyArray() 
  
  

    ReDim MyArray(n) 
  
  

  In a procedure, you can define a dynamic array with the ReDim or Static statement using a variable for the number of elements: ReDim MyArray(n)

• An Option Base statement occurs after array dimensions are set. Make sure any Option Base statement precedes all array declarations.
