StrSplit oddity

[Big JR]

Love StrSplit. Saves me some lines of code and is far more elegant. Having trouble though with the dim statement in Globals. If I use Dim words(0) as string it is fine in a standalone test prog but if I include it in my big and near completed prog I get:
Error compiling program.
Error description: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index
Occured on line: 5
Dim words(0) as string

If I use just Dim words(0) without the 'as string' reference then it is OK.

Are there any issues if I omit the 'as string'?

It is fine to omit the 'as string' here.
I don't see any reason why leaving the 'as string' will not work.
Can you post some of your code or send it to erel@basic4ppc.com?

[Erel]

The problem is here:
Dim words(0) as string
Dim string(0) as Byte, secret(0) as Byte, NewArray(0) as Byte

You are using a variable named string and it causes a confusion.
Anyway, just omit the 'as string' and it will work fine.

Many thanks Erel. And they were adjacent lines! I should have seen that. Thanks again.
