Pass Array Into Subroutine for Excel VBA? - arrays

Question

I'm trying to pass the results of an array into a subroutine. I have an array that picks up four different Buyer codes from a list. They're labelled as BuyOne, BuyTwo, BuyThree, BuyFour. I'm trying to get the results into the next subroutine, but I'm getting a type mismatch at the subroutine call. Even when I fiddle with it I don't know how to get the results into the subroutine. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Code below:
lastRow = Range("O" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rBuyerList = Range("O1:O" & lastRow)
arrBuyer = Array("BuyOne", "BuyTwo", "BuyThree", "BuyFour")
For i = 0 To UBound(arrBuyer)
With Application
chkFind = .IfError(.Match(Range(arrBuyer(i)), Range("O1:O50"), 0), 0)
End With
If Range(arrBuyer(i)) = vbNullString Or chkFind = False Then
MsgBox "Invalid Buyer Code.." & arrBuyer(i)
Range(arrBuyer(i)).Select
End If
Next i
Call runFinished(sFrDt, sToDt, arrBuyer())
Sheets("Main Sheet").Select
MsgBox ("done...")
End Sub
Sub runFinished(sFrDt As String, sToDt As String, arrBuyer() As Variant)
Dim SQL As String
' add a new work sheet
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
' dispay Criteria
Cells(1, 1) = "Run Date: " & Now()
Call MergeLeft("A1:B1")
Cells(2, 1) = "Criteria:"
Cells(2, 2) = "From " & Range("reqFrDT") & " -To- " & Range("reqToDt")

SQL = "select a.StockCode [Finished Part], a.QtyToMake, FQOH,FQOO,/*FQIT,*/FQOA, b.Component [Base Material], CQOH,CQOO,CQIT,CQOA " & _

Answer 1

If you have this line in your code
arrBuyer = Array("BuyOne", "BuyTwo", "BuyThree", "BuyFour")
Proper call should be
Call runFinished(sFrDt, sToDt, arrBuyer)
And proper declaration of the function is
Sub runFinished(sFrDt As String, sToDt As String, arrBuyer As Variant) without ()
Edit (Thanks to #Rory)
Previously stated is true if arrBuyer was not declared as follows: dim arrBuyer() as variant or dim arrBuyer(). On the other hand if declaration was dim arrBuyer() 'as variant OP's code would work w/o any changes.
Final note: I still prefer not using arrBuyer() As Variant in the sub declaration.
