I need to assign one array to another. Here's my problem. I have a function that returns an array of email addresses. I want to assign this to another array like so:

Dim EmailList
EmailList = ReturnEmailArray

Function ReturnEmailArray
Dim eArray()
...
create email array here
...

ReturnEmailArray = eArray
End Function

I am getting an error. Why? How can I do this problem?

Hi SuperStruct,

sorry, I can't answer your question, because this

works for me without any errors.

This is very doable and the code below works fine

I notice however that you are using a dynamic array, are you initialising said array with a ReDim? To be honest, I hardly ever use dynamic arrays as I've found that simply creating an array with more than enough elements is more performant (and, yes, lazy I know). So, if I know that roughly I'll need 500 elements I'll Dim the array with 600 or so. I can always Redim Preserve it with the Ubound limit of the array if I need to get rid of the unused elements.

Looking back in my code I have this:

Dim EmailList()
EmailList = ReturnEmailArray

I was getting a type error. I took out the paranthesis and now have this:
Dim EmailList
EmailList = ReturnEmailArray

which works correctly.

Thank you everyone!!
