VBA: Subscript out of range

VBA: Subscript out of range

Elements of arrays and members of collection can only be accessed within their defined ranges. This error has the following causes and solutions:

1. You referenced a nonexistent array element

Solution: The subscript may be larger or smaller than the range of possible subscripts, or the array may not have dimensions assigned at this point in the application. Check the declaration of the array to verify its upper and lower bounds. Use the UBound and LBound functions to condition array accesses if you are working with arrays that are re-dimensioned. If the index is specified as a variable, check the spelling of the variable name.

2. You declared an array but did not specify the number of elements. For example, the following code causes this error:

Solution:

Dim My Array () As integer

MyArray(8)=234  ' Causes Error 9.

Visual basic does not implicitly dimension unspecified array ranges 0 10. Instead, you must use Dim or ReDim to specify explicitly the number of element array.

3. You referenced a nonexistent collection member

Solution: Try using the For Each…Next construct instead of specifying index element.

4. You used a shorthand form of subscript that implicity specified an invalid element.

Solution: For example, when you use the ! Operator with a collection, the ! Implicitly specifies a key. For example, object!keyname.value is equivalent to the object.item(keyname).value. In this case, an error is generated if keyname represents an invalid key in the collection. To fix the error, use a valid key name or index of the collection.
