Thanks Mike!
Yes, I know how to determine the UBound for each dim if dims are known. 
Since I've always built my own multi-dim arrays from scratch I've been 
able to determine how many dims and so can query UBound(arr, 1), 
UBound(arr, 2), and so on if I already know how many dims.

What I'm looking for is a way to determine how many dims an unknown 
array is. Currently I use a Do...Loop with a counter that exits when a 
trapped error occurs. I don't think I'd ever encounter more than a 3D 
array, but a generic method to determine how many dims and how to get 
their respective ubounds is what I'm hoping someone can help me with.
