DoWhatEver should look like
Sub DoWhatever(AnArray() as String)
ReDim Preserve AnArray(2,2) as String
....
Also note that only the last dimension can be changed with Preserve.
Specifically lets say you have 100 Addresses, each address consisting
of say Street,City,PostCode. Then you would set up the array as follows:
Redim Address(3,100) as String
where Address(1,N) = Street
Address(2,N) = City
Address(3,N) = Postcode
Now when you want to add a entry you do:
Redim Preserve Address(3,101) As String
