When attempting to browse records, I'm told ""run-time error '9' subscript out of range, with the line

VBA Code:
ReDim Preserve SearchListBoxArray(1 To RowCount, 1 To 13)

highlighted in yellow on the debug screen, which is part of the below procedure that takes some information from the user to find and produce a list of records satisfying the given information.

VBA Code:
Private Sub DisplayRecords()

    Dim SearchTerm As String
    Dim SearchColumn As String
    Dim RecordRange As Range
    Dim FirstAddress As String
    Dim FirstCell As Range
    Dim RowCount As Integer
    Dim SearchListBoxArray() As Variant
    Dim SearchArrayColumn As Integer

    'some code
    
    ' Only search in the relevant table column i.e. if somone is searching Location
    ' only search in the Location column
    With Worksheets("Appointments").ListObjects("AppointmentsTable").ListColumns(SearchColumn).Range

        ' Find the first match
        Set RecordRange = .Find(SearchTerm, LookIn:=xlValues)

        '
        FirstAddress = RecordRange.Address
        RowCount = 0

        Do
            
            'Create a new row for ListBox
            RowCount = RowCount + 1
            ReDim Preserve SearchListBoxArray(1 To RowCount, 1 To 13) 'This highlights when clicking debug
                
            ' Set the first cell in the row of the matching value
            Set FirstCell = Range("B" & RecordRange.Row)
                
            ' Add matching record to List Box
            SearchResultsListBox.AddItem
                
            For SearchArrayColumn = 1 To 13
                    
                'Populate the array with data from the appointment worksheet
                SearchListBoxArray(RowCount, SearchArrayColumn) = FirstCell(1, SearchArrayColumn)
                
            Next SearchArrayColumn
                
            ' Look for next match
            Set RecordRange = .FindNext(RecordRange)

            ' When no further matches are found, exit the sub
            If RecordRange Is Nothing Then

                'Populate ListBox using the built array
                SearchResultsListBox.List = SearchListBoxArray

                Exit Sub

            End If

        ' Keep looking while unique matches are found
        Loop While RecordRange.Address <> FirstAddress

    End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Initially rowcount is 1, so ReDim Preserve SearchListBoxArray(1 To RowCount, 1 To 13) would be...
ReDim Preserve SearchListBoxArray(1 To 1, 1 To 13)... seems like it should be OK (I'm not sure if XL likes the 1 to 1 part though) but only the 1st dimension of the array is preserved and the 2nd dimension is erased, so it's not going to work anyways. If you redim/dimension the array outside of the loops by determining the rowcount before the loops then it should work. HTH. Dave
