HUH?

Have you ever tried using this function for such purposes. If you would, you’d see that it alway returns true if you use it on an array(initialized or not).

I solved this problem by catching the 200 error.

Thanks for the tip Joris.

no LS function fot this AFAIK, but you can write your own function like this :

Function isinitialized(a) As Boolean

Dim u As Integer

On Error Goto skip

isinitialized=True

u=Ubound(a)    ' if a is not initialized, this produces an error

Exit Function

skip:

isinitialized=False

Resume Next

End Function
