It would be mouch easier if you used a collection , then you would have no need to resize the array after a delete , but thats just my opinion<br />

Redim will clear the contents of the array and you will lose the values of all the elements. &nbsp;You have to use keyword PRESERVE to keep the contents of the elements:<br />
<br />
ReDim preserve a(1 To 9) As String<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

Of course you have to use Preserve!. I forgot writing it in my code. Sorry about my mistake and thanks for pointing it out.<br />

Please could someone offer the shortest code to do the following:<br />
<br />
Delete an element in the middle of a dynamic array meaning all the elements above that one in the set are pushed down one.<br />
<br />
Test whether a variable equals that of an element in an array.<br />
<br />
<br />

Manipulating Arrays

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
