Hello Paul Is there a way to return an ArrayList from a function, like a bellow? This is the code I have implemented Public Function ReturnArrayList() As ArrayList // or return type As Variant Dim alist As ArrayList Set alist = New ArrayList // Early Binding alist.Add “a” alist.Add “b” alist.Add “c” alist.Add “240” ReturnArrayList = alist End Sub Sub GetArrayList() Dim alist As ArrayList alist = ReturnArrayList() MsgBox alist(0) End Sub Thank you, Nishan Reply Paul Kelly Paul Kelly on December 24, 2019 at 7:56 am Hi Nishan, You need to use Set when returning an object.
