How to create a reusable array

[marcusja2002]

I have a combo box that will change depending on the choice made in another combo box.

I have multiple list arrays already created. How do I name them, so I dont have to copy and past the array lists for each combobox set?

Here is the code: i want to turn those arrays into ideally a single word I can put in its place that VBA will recognize.

Private Sub cmbxfs1_Click()
Dim x As Integer


x = cmbxfs1.ListIndex


Select Case x
Case Is = 0
cmbxfd1.List = Array("CHECK VALVE STAMPED ARROW WRONG", "DID NOT SPRING CHANGE", "FUEL GOVENOR SPRINGS DEFECTIVE", "FUEL INJECTION PUMP NOT SUPPLYING FUEL", "FUEL LEAK AT INJECTION PUMP", "FUEL LEAKING AT FITTING ON BLOCK", "FUEL LINE BLEW OFF, CAUGHT FIRE IN DYNO", "FUEL LINES LOOSE, FUEL LEAK", "FUEL PUMP FAILURE", "FUEL RAIL SENSOR FAILED", "FUEL SOLENOID FAILED IN GOVENOR", "INJECTION PUMP FAILURE", "INJECTOR LEAKING FUEL", "INJECTOR LEAKING OIL", "RESET GOVENOR SETTING", "SILVER SOLDER HAD HOLE IN FUEL LINE", "SPRING CHANGE DONE INCORRECTLY", "SPRING CHANGE DONE INCORRECTLY - WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN", "SPRING CHANGE NOT DONE", "STOP LEVEER IN INJECTOR PUMP NOT SHUTING ENGINE DOWN", "WRONG SPRING INSTALLED")
Case Is = 1
cmbxfd1.List = Array("5-BLINKS ON PANEL, REPLACE", "ALTERNATOR EXCITOR WIRE DIODE BACKWARDS", "ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING", "ALTERNATOR WIRED INCORRECTLY, EXCITER WIRE ON WRONG POST", "AUX EXT ENGINE SHUT OFF CODE", "BATTERY CABLE HAD BROKEN WIRES ", "BATTERY ISOLATOR SHORTED OUT", "BATTERY ISOLATOR WIRED BACKWARDS", "CANNON PLUG ON VALVE COVER PULLED OUT", "CODES STUCK IN PANEL", "COOLING LOOP TEMP SENSOR OVER TIGHTENED", "DIODE BACKWARDS IN EXCITOR WIRE", "ECU HARNESS CODE", "ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP ON AUTO SIDE IN PANEL", "FUEL PRESSURE SWITCH FAILED", "GROUND CABLE CRUSHED BEHIND ECUS", "GROUND STUD AND GROUND CABLE NOT INSTALLED", "HARNESS BAD CRIMP", "HARNESS HAD A SHORT ", "HARNESS HAS PINS THAT WILL NOT LOCK IN ", _

Case Is = 3
cmbxfd1.List = Array()
Case Is = 4
cmbxfd1.List = Array()
Case Is = 5
cmbxfd1.List = Array()
Case Is = 6
cmbxfd1.List = Array()
End Select
End Sub

You can create a Function and put it in Module.
There's also several ways to prepare an array, but if you have long list, if possible just put in worksheet (case 4).

[COLOR=#0000cd]Function getArray(paramIndex As Long)
Const arrSource As String = "Sheet2"

Select Case paramIndex
    Case 0
    getArray = Array([/COLOR][COLOR=#a9a9a9]"CHECK VALVE STAMPED ARROW WRONG", "DID NOT SPRING CHANGE", "FUEL GOVENOR SPRINGS DEFECTIVE", "FUEL INJECTION PUMP NOT SUPPLYING FUEL", "FUEL LEAK AT INJECTION PUMP", "FUEL LEAKING AT FITTING ON BLOCK", "FUEL LINE BLEW OFF, CAUGHT FIRE IN DYNO", "FUEL LINES LOOSE, FUEL LEAK", "FUEL PUMP FAILURE", "FUEL RAIL SENSOR FAILED", "FUEL SOLENOID FAILED IN GOVENOR", "INJECTION PUMP FAILURE", "INJECTOR LEAKING FUEL", "INJECTOR LEAKING OIL", "RESET GOVENOR SETTING", "SILVER SOLDER HAD HOLE IN FUEL LINE", "SPRING CHANGE DONE INCORRECTLY", "SPRING CHANGE DONE INCORRECTLY - WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN", "SPRING CHANGE NOT DONE", "STOP LEVEER IN INJECTOR PUMP NOT SHUTING ENGINE DOWN", "WRONG SPRING INSTALLED"[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000cd])
