The array argument is the name of the array variable to be erased.

It is important to know whether an array is fixed-size (ordinary) or dynamic because Erase behaves differently depending on the type of array. Erase recovers no memory for fixed-size arrays. Erase sets the elements of a fixed array as follows:

Erase frees the memory used by dynamic arrays. Before your program can refer to the dynamic array again, it must redeclare the array variable's dimensions using a ReDim statement.

The following example illustrates the use of the Erase statement.

	Copy Code
Dim NumArray(9) Dim DynamicArray() ReDim DynamicArray(9) ' Allocate storage space. Erase NumArray ' Each element is reinitialized. Erase DynamicArray ' Free memory used by array.
