| LBound Function |
Syntax
LBound(arrayname[, dimension])
arrayname
Use: Required
Data Type: Any
The name of the array.
dimension
Use: Optional
Data Type: Variant (Long)
A number specifying the dimension of the array.
Return Value
A Long integer.
Description
Determines the lower limit of a specified dimension of an array. The lower boundary is the smallest subscript you can access within the specified array.
Rules at a Glance
If dimension isn't specified, 1 is assumed. To determine the lower limit of the first dimension of an array, set dimension to 1, 2 for the second, and so on.
The lower bound of an array dimension can be set using To, Dim, Private, Public, Redim, and Static, and can be set to any integer value.
Programming Tips and Gotchas
The Option Base statement sets the default lower bound of an array to either 1 or 0.
An array created with the Array function always has a lower bound of zero.
The LBound function can't determine the lower limit of a control array. Instead, in both Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications, you can use the control array's LBound property to determine its lower limit.
