This code will pass an array X to funtion FillArray, and the function will fill it with values. After that, the value are printed to the debug window just to show the code is actually working.
private Sub Command1_Click()
' create an array with 10 elements
Dim X() as Long
ReDim X(10)
' call the function
FillArray X
' show content of array in debug window
Dim T as Integer
for T = 0 to 9
Debug.print T & ": " & X(T)
next T
End Sub
private Function FillArray(ArrToFill() as Long)
' fill the array
Dim T as Integer
for T = 0 to 9
ArrToFill(T) = T * 1000
next T
End Function

Hi Tom
thanx a lot for ur quick answre, it helped me a lot to understand Vb calling . here is my actual problem. hope u can help me to solve this problem. I m a VC programmer and just new to VB.
I have created a standard dll in in C. one of the function exported from the DLL is having a FUNCTION PROTOTYPE LIKE THIS:
int GetData(int xIN, double dataArray[]);
i m trying to write some sample code to call this function from dll from CV, Vb etc. From VC i could succed, but struggling a lot to make it work from VB, just very new to VB. here is what i m doing from VB:
i have declared the function prototype in VB like this:
Declare Function GetData& Lib "mylib.dll" (ByVal x1&,x7#)
is it correct???
while calling i m calling as :
Dim dataAry(100) as double
dim status as integer
status = GetData(0, wfmAry)
i m getting the compilation error: ByRef argument type mismatch.
thanx in advance, its bit urgent.....

I'm not sure about the declareation of the function, because I have absolutely no experiance with that. What I do know is that in many cases (not all) when passing an array to a (API) function, those declared using Declare ... Lib ..., you must pass the first element of the array. So it would look someting like status = GetData(0, wfmAry(0)).
As said before, not really into this stuff, so could be wrong
