All ok i seemed to have worked it out


Dim aaa(10, 10, 10) As String


aaa(2, 2, 2) = "Cat"

ReDim aaa(10, 10, 10)

MsgBox(aaa(2, 2, 2)) 'yes its cleared

ReDim just makes the copy of your array, and since you did not Preserve (the values in it) you get the empty array.

Look at Array.Clear Method

Have fun.

Thanks for your comment

I have looked at the link

ie Array.Clear(timeZoneTimes, 1, 1)

??in a 3 dimensional array ie aaa(10, 10, 10) how do you use this code ??? Array.Clear(aaa, 1, 1) does not seem to work

Check out this MSDN link for an explanation of the Array.Clear method:


Look at the bottom of the first example, where it says "' The example displays the following output:", and you can see how the Array.Clear method works. In your case, since you want to clear the entire array, you would do this:

Array.Clear(aaa, 0, aaa.Length)
