If I want to pass ONE argument to a SubRoutine, I can do this:

Code:
Dim MyArray() as Variant

MyArray() = Array("Apples", "Oranges")

Dim i As Integer

For i = LBound(MyArray(), 1) To UBound(MyArray(), 1)

    Call SomeSub(Arg:=i)

Next i

What if SomeSub requires TWO arguments? How can I define an array, that allows more than ONE argument to be passed?

Thanks

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
I suppose I can use a dictionary, which would be key and item but what if SomeSub requires MORE than 2 arguments?

I don't really understand the question. Best guess, use a 2D array or an array of arrays, and iterate each row.

Why would you need an array to pass more than one argument?

Thanks, the 2D array method is probably the easiest, like this:

Code:
    Dim MyArray(1 To 2, 1 To 2) As Variant
    
    MyArray(1, 1) = "Apple"
    MyArray(1, 2) = "Orange"
    MyArray(2, 1) = "Large"
    MyArray(2, 2) = "Small"
    
    Dim i As Integer
    
    For i = 1 To 2
    
        Call SomeSub(Arg1:=MyArray(1, i), Arg2:=MyArray(2, i))
    
    Next I


Using a dictionary, this is what I've got, which also works:

Code:
    Dim DIC As Scripting.Dictionary
    Set DIC = New Scripting.Dictionary
    
    DIC.Add Key:="Apple", Item:="Large"
    DIC.Add Key:="Orange", Item:="Small"
    
    Dim DICElement As Variant
    
    For Each DICElement In DIC
    
        Call SomeSub(Arg1:=DICElement, Arg2:=DIC.Item(DICElement))
    
    Next DICElement
