Collection of Collections?

Author	Message
Andreas Bau #1 / 3	Collection of Collections? Is it possible to create a collection whose members themselves consist of collections? In other words, I'd like to create a kind of 'two dimensional' collection, just like a two-dimensional array, only with the possibility of using the collections ability to access entries via keys that need not be integer numbers. If such a thing is possible, I'd welcome any hints on how to do it (cause I've been trying to find out not very successfully, myself...) -- ---- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [Insert joke here.] ---- --

Yes, paste the code below into a form with a single command button, it's fairly self-expanatory. Option Explicit ' "Top-level collection" Private nCol As Collection Private Sub Command1_Click() MsgBox nCol("nCol2").Item("Key2") End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() Dim nCol2 As Collection Set nCol = New Collection Set nCol2 = New Collection nCol2.Add "Item1", "Key1" nCol2.Add "Item2", "Key2" nCol.Add nCol2, "nCol2" End Sub -Stef

[snip] Thank you, that helped. (Although I am not exactly sure what I made wrong when I tried it but I guess that does not matter now...) -- ---- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [Insert joke here.] ---- --
