Return array of objects from function - VBA

Question

I need to "return" an Array of Objects from a function that I created using VBA. When I try to set the function as the array it gives me an error message, saying

Object is required.

I am not very used to VBA, and I can't fix this. Here is the function code:

Function sortedList(listRange As Integer, tempList() As ship) As ship
   Dim temp As ship
   Set temp = Nothing

   For i = listRange - 10 To 1 Step -1

       For j = 2 To listRange - 10
            If tempList(j - 1).Arrival > tempList(j).Arrival Then
                Set temp = tempList(j - 1)
                Set tempList(j - 1) = tempList(j)
                Set tempList(j) = temp
            End If
        Next j
    Next i

    'return tempList - how?
    Set sortedList = tempList

End Function

Ship is a "class" that I created. tempList is the array of objects from class ship that I need to return from the function sortedList .

The function works, it's just the return part that I can't make work.

Thanks for the help. If more information is necessary let me know!

Answer 1

Declare the function to return an array

Function sortedList(listRange As Integer, tempList() As ship) As ship()

and then assign the result without Set

sortedList = tempList
