I don't think so, Michael. Try this:

Option Explicit
Private Type test
p1 As Long
p2 As Long
p3(1 To 500) As Double
End Type

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim myvar As test
Print Len(myvar), LenB(myvar)
End Sub

By the way, thanks for the info about VB arrays requiring a contiguous block of memory. I'm
still a little confused about it though, because on my system I can create a massive array that
requires much more real memory than I have on board and that can actually approach the total of
real memory and swap file (on disk) memory. So can I take it that Windows memory management is
able to treat a block of real RAM and a separate block of swap file (on disk) as one complete
contiguous block, and that the CopyMemory API would do so also? Just wondering.

Mike
