Hi there experts
I spent most of last night googling and try to get this to work, and thought I should have posted here for advice. I'm working on some changes for my website and can't seem to reference an array inside a subroutine within the same file.
Here's what I have ...
> A simple two dimensional array is created from database (currently Excel, but will be MySQL when I learn more about them!)
> I have a series of if-then statements that run different reports
> Within each report, I need to filter data from the array then print to screen (ie. response.write)
> I'm using a Sub for the response.write code as it's the same each time and I thought this would be cleaner than repeating the same code within every if-then statement
The problem is that when it goes to the Sub, the array values are lost, so is there a way of referencing the array within the Sub? I've also tried using a function as well, but can't get it to work and I don't want to use arguments to pass the array values. I also didn't want the array to be recreated each time the Sub is called.
The code is quiet long and messy (so I didn't want to post it) but just wondering if this normal behaviour for arrays?

You could try either creating the array variable as a global variable creating it outside any function or sub, could pass the array to a new variable within the sub when calling the sub.
