It really depends on how you're using the array.
Basically, using:
Dim Arrayabc
You're not declaring an "array", you're declaring a single variable, type
Variant.
Now, later you can use
Redim ArrayABC(30)
and change the variable to an array.
Or, curiously enough:
ArrayABC = Split("The big brown dog jumped over the lazy fox"," ")
will Redim ArrayABC to whatever array size is required to store the string.
(in this case, Ubound(ArrayABC) will be 8)
If you were to use:
Dim ArrayABC
Dim ArrayDEF()
Dim ArrayXYZ(3)
.
.
.
Redim ArrayABC(30)
Redim ArrayDEF(30)
Redim ArrayXYZ(30) ' Will not work, because the array was already defined.
So, depending on how you plan to use it, you can either have the () or not.
However, if you choose to use the (), you MUST (in some manner) define the
array
size before you can use the array.
However:
You CAN change a single variant to an array, and back again:
Dim A
A = "The Big Brown Dog"
A = Split("The big brown dog jumped over the lazy fox", " ")
Erase A
A = "Jumped over the Lazy Fox"
hope this isn't too confusing.
