Create a dynamic array in Access VBA and perform actions on it
Posted on 2010-09-09
I would like help performing the following actions in VBA:
1. Create a dynamic array with two columns. Let’s say column A and column B
2. Add a row to the array from the current values of two variables: ProjectID and CStr(frm.Hwnd) to columns A and B respectively.
3. Search the array and retrieve the value of column B based lookup of column A
4. Delete a row in the array that has a specific value in column A
Thank you for any help on this,
Tim

A Dynamic Array is one that is re-dimmed as needed:
Dim arr() as String
'/set multiple columns
Redim Preserve arr(ubound(arr)+1, 1)
arr(0, ubound(arr)) = Me.ProjectID
arr(1, ubound(arr)) = frm.Hwnd
To retrieve this:
Msgbox arr(0, <your array index>)
If you need to locate that value, use a Loop:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 to ubound(arr,2)
Msgbox arr(0, i) & " : " & arr(1, i)
Next i
This might help:

From your description - you are not just storing but searching & deleting.
A collection might be a better choice for your problem.
Maybe you should tell us a bit more about what you're trying to do...

I am using Allen Browne's method of opening multiple instances of a form (frmProjects). The problem is if I click a link to open an instance of frmProject, and a form with that ProjectID is already open, it will open another instance and I have two forms open referencing the same ProjectID. I would like to keep a log of ProjectID and the corrusponding frm.Hwnd so I can check if a instance is already open and if so set focus to that open form instead of opening a new one.
If I store the data in a table it would have two fields: ProjectID and Hwnd. Then, before I open a new instance, I will dlookup("Hwnd","tableName"
I would have to append to this table when I open a new instance and delete a record when I close an instance.
It seems to me it would be better to use an array for this instead of a table. I haven't thought about how to use a collection

Sometimes it is useful to write data to a temp table, so it can examined in the interface.
