Example
The following example initializes an XArrayDB object with 10 rows and 6 columns, then removes the first three rows:
MyArray.ReDim 1, 10, 1, 6
Dim i, j As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
For j = 1 To 6
MyArray(i, j) = "Row " & i & ", Col " & j
Next j
Next i
Debug.Print MyArray(1, 1) ' prints Row 1, Col 1
Debug.Print MyArray(2, 1) ' prints Row 2, Col 1
Debug.Print MyArray(8, 1) ' prints Row 8, Col 1
' remove three rows starting at index 1
Dim result As Long
result = MyArray.DeleteRows(1, 3)
Debug.Print result ' prints 3
Debug.Print MyArray.Count(1) ' prints 7
Debug.Print MyArray(1, 1) ' prints Row 4, Col 1
Debug.Print MyArray(2, 1) ' prints Row 5, Col 1
' the next line now gives a "Subscript out of range" error
Debug.Print MyArray(8, 1)
