Using Variant Type

Hi,

I'm using the Variant Type on eVB 3.0, but when I want to see the content of
the variable, I have error written.

See the following code :
--------------------------------------------------
Dim OldParentVar() As Variant
...
For I = 1 To 20
OldParentVar(I) = "toto"
Next
...
---------------------------------------------------

So, the content of the variable is empty.
Do you have an idea of the problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want the Grey or White answer to that question?

You've not dimensioned the original array. And FYI, *all* variables in eVB
are Variant, no matter how you declare them.

OK, even if I make "ReDim OldParentVar(20)", the problem I had was the
following : I'm using eVB 3.0 and the "Watches Window" which permits to see
the content of my array. But when the loop is executed, I have the following
label :
Expression Value
OldParentVar [Error]

I think it comes from eVB 3.0 because if I make :
"MsgBox(OldParentVar(I))", the content of my array is displayed on the
Message Box...
