Dim Dik as New Scripting.Dictionary

I agree.
Adding that ( New ) was an oversight by me and confused the issue a bit , the
Set = New_____, comes in in the ( typical ) second line, which would be ( is ) in this case in my Functions.

I added that ( New ) later, I do not know why now exactly..
( Possibly I was getting confused with the often used "shorthand" Early Binding of like using

Dim objData As New dataobject

instead of the "two line" version

Dim objData As dataobject
Set objData = New dataobject

Thanks for pointing that stupidity out.
