Problems using an array of user classes

[quid007]

I am trying to loop through an array of user defined objects (classes) and am experiencing some difficulties. The code skeleton is as follows.

*************************
dim devices as variant

Sub someroutine

dim onedevice as variant

redim devices(index)

for each onedevice in devices
onedevice.getvalue
next

*******************

The problem seems to be that the object is not initialized so the program errors out. I can make it work by inserting a line "set onedevice = new device" into the loop, but that initializes the object to a 'zero' state and I can't access the value of the object in the array. I suppose I can use a for x = 1 to somelength version, but the for next should work, I think, so I would rather understand what I am doing wrong than work around it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll start.

Where's the 'array of user defined objects'?

onedevice is type variant. From where does it acquire a getvalue method?

Redim devices(index) clears the devices array unless you use Preserve. Did you intend that? (I assume index is initialised.)

From what I can see the devices array is empty prior to initiating the loop so how can you expect to access the value of the objects .
