Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no way (yet) to slice an array. You can do slicing on strings, with Left, Right and Mid. For example: Dim str1 As String Dim str2 As String str1 = "hello there" str2 = Mid(str1, 2, 4) ' will point to the same string but with the length 4 and offset 2. Print str2 ' prints ello
but it is not implemented for arrays. You can create an own class that wraps an array together with an offset and length if you want to... /Emil 2012/10/10 RICHARD WALKER <richard.j.wal...@ntlworld.com> > Let's say I have a string array with 12 elements.
