asp -- passing an array to a sub

I have a subprocedure:

sub send_email(userid,parts)

Open in new window


The parts argument receives an array.  Here is how I am calling the sub:

send_email(user_id,matchingParts)

Open in new window


matchingParts is an array that i am trying to give to the send_email function.

I do a test and use the Ubound() function to check the upper bound of the array before putting it into the subprocedure and it shows that there are indeed items in the array.  When I check the ubound() value of the array parts in the subprocedure, I get 0 as the upper bound.  So suddenly all the elements in my array are removed just by passing the array.

What is going on and how can i pass the array?

ASKER

tried it, and once the array is passed, the ubound() function returns 0.
can you please show the full code of that function?
sub send_email(userid,parts)
	dim htmlParts
	dim xyz
	response.Write("passed ubound: "&ubound(parts)&"<br>")

Open in new window


As you can see, right away i get a 0 returned by the ubound() function.  The only thing that happens before this is two dim statemtns
sounds ok, can you please show the relevant code that builds the array, and calls send_mail function?
This is the code that builds the array:
do while not ngrs2.eof
		if part_ic = "" then
			part_ic = 0
		end if
		ReDim Preserve mathcingParts(part_ic)
		mathcingParts(part_ic) = ngrs2.Fields("ID")
		part_ic = part_ic + 1
		ngrs2.MoveNext
	loop

Open in new window

I got it to work somehow, i don't know what i was doing wrong...  

Thanks for your help.

An array with Ubound = 0 has one element. Arrays start counting at 0. If you have an empty array, it will return -1 on Ubound.
