Array type mismatch error

Hi! i've tried to pass byte array to a argument (variant array) of a sub, but then i got a type mismatch error. please help me, i don't want to duplicate the sub for each type. To make sure you can understand my english, i include the example for you. Please help me...

Code:

Sub Main()
   Dim a() as Byte
   Test a() '<------- Type mismatch error
End Sub

Sub Test(Arr())
   'Codes
End Sub

You are passing a byte array not a variant.
You should declare your function like this:

Code:

Private Sub Test(Arr() As Byte)
End Sub

try this...

Code:

Sub Main()
   Dim a() As variant
   Test a '<------- now it should be ok
End Sub

Sub Test(Arr() as variant)
   'Codes
End Sub

If you want this strange way of coding then make all variables/arrays Variants too. No need for using strong data types.
