Option Base 1 doesn't apply to some arrays?

In my workbook Declarations, I have these lines of code:

Later in a Sub I initialize indices as an array:

In the same Sub I use this array in a For loop:

However, using a break point on that last line of code reveals that i starts out at a value of 0. i should start out as the lower bound of the indices array, which should be 1 because of the Base Option used in the declarations. Does it fail because indices was not declared as an array?

If so, is there some way to make indices adhere to the Base Option but not initialize it with successive, single-assignments?

Note the statement in red font.

Thanks for the info, but I didn't qualify my use of the Array function with the name its type library.

Have a look at this code where indices is declared as Variant.

That solved it. Thanks!
