However, if you don't explicitly set the lower bound with a **To** clause, you can use **Option Base** to change the default lower bound to 1. The base of an array created with the the **ParamArray** keyword is zero; **Option Base** does not affect **ParamArray** (or the **Array** function, when qualified with the name of its type library, for example **VBA.Array**).
