I am having difficulty getting a user defined data type to function
with arrays. What I would like to do is create a data type that is
comprised of four 1-D arrays. Then I would like to load the individual
arrays in another module so I can trasnfer all four arrays as a single
argument (the new data type) in a function. Here's what I have done so
far

In one module;

Option Base 1

Public Type PlotScalars

    Xscalar(1 To 4) As Integer
    Yscalar(1 To 4) As Integer
    Zscalar(1 To 4) As Integer

End Type

In another module

Dim MyPlotScalars As PlotScalars

MyPlotScalars.Xscalar = Array(1, 0, 1, 1)
MyPlotScalars.Yscalar = Array(1, 1, 0, 1)
MyPlotScalars.Zscalar = Array(1, 1, 1, 0)

I get an error "Compile error: can't assign to array." I would prefer
not to have to load each element of the data type arrays one element at
a time. Is there an easy way around this?

My main motivation for doing this is to cut down on the number of
arguments passed to a user defined function (which are limited to 30).

TIA
