Sets the default lower bound for array subscripts to 0 or 1.

Syntax

Option Base base

Elements

base

The default lower bound (either 0 or 1) for all dimensions of all arrays in the module in which the Option Base statement occurs.

Option Base can be specified only once in a module, and only at the module level. If you use Option Base, it must precede all array declarations and all ReDim statements in the module.

The value set by Option Base applies to all arrays in the module that are either declared by Dim statements or redefined by ReDim statements.

If the module does not include an Option Base statement, the default lower bound for all dimensions of all arrays is 0. For example, a one-dimensional array of 10 elements would use subscripts 0-9.
