INFO: Maximum Number of Array Elements in Visual Basic 6.0

ID: Q229792

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0

SUMMARY

The maximum number of elements in an array is limited by the amount of available system resources. While you could possibly have an array with the maximum 32-bit value of 2147483648, your program would run out of memory because Windows NT 4.0 only supports 4GB of memory in a single process.
