The LBound function returns the smallest subscript for the indicated dimension of an array.
Note: The LBound for any dimension is ALWAYS 0.
Tip: Use the LBound function with the UBound function to determine the size of an array.
Syntax
LBound(arrayname[,dimension])
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| arrayname | Required. The name of the array variable |
| dimension | Optional. Which dimension's lower bound to return. 1 = first dimension, 2 = second dimension, and so on. Default is 1 |

<script type="text/vbscript">
days=Array("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
document.write(LBound(days) & "<br />")
document.write(UBound(days) & "<br />")
</script>
days=Array("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
document.write(LBound(days) & "<br />")
