Got another problem now.
I don't know what's wrong with me I used to be able to program fine lol.

    ...

    Dim iContinue As Integer

    Dim BallotAddCount As Integer
    Dim NewBallotCount As Integer
    BallotAddCount = 0
    
    Do While iContinue = vbYes
    
        NewBallotCount = NumberOfBallots + BallotAddCount + 1
        ReDim Preserve VoteArray(NewBallotCount, NumberOfCandidates)
        
        ...

        BallotAddCount = BallotAddCount + 1
        iContinue = MsgBox("You have added " & BallotAddCount & " ballots." & vbNewLine & _
                           "Would you like to add more?", vbYesNo + vbApplicationModal, _
                           "Add Another Ballot: Yes or No?")

        
    Loop

    ...

NumberOfBallots = 10
NumberOfCandidates = 4 [Got from inputbox]

Array was already VoteArray(NumberOfBallots, NumberOfCandidates)

[I'm coding a transferrable vote system]

ReDim Preserve blahblah don't wanna do it
[Subscript out of range]

btw I'm using Option Base 1

And the subscript IS IN RANGE
[I checked with the locals window]

Aaron,

This is from the MSDN Library and should explain your problem...

If you use the Preserve keyword, you can resize only the last array
dimension and you can't change the number of dimensions at all. 
For example, if your array has only one dimension, you can resize that
dimension because it is the last and only dimension. However, if your 
array has two or more dimensions, you can change the size of only the last
dimension and still preserve the contents of the array.

So I have to swap Ballots for Candidates then?

i.e. from VoteArray(NoOfBallots, NoOfCandidates)
to VoteArray(NoOfCandidates, NoOfBallots)

Because from this point in the code I only eveer ever need to change the number of Ballots.

If your NoOfBallots is the variable one, yes you do.

Cheers!

Damnit, that's a pain in the ass.

Oh well. -sighs- thanks for your assistance, I'll get started on that now I guess... Only, 80 lines to go through swapping nested loops and variable names?

lol. thankyou.

Or write some code to manually preserve the items.

The way I see it... Well, it's all pretty blurry
