[AccessD] Trouble using Split command

My understanding is that the result of the split statement is a one dimensional array. Thus the Dim test() as Variant
The Test = Split(LineText)(0) statement is meant to put the contents of the first array element into the variable Test.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Better!

Public Sub test()
    'I have a dim statements as follows
    Dim LineText As String
    Dim test As Variant ' no parenthesis for the name of the variable
    LineText = "                                0.000
243.729             -       61.495              -"
    'The split statement should be as follows
    test = Split(LineText, "0") ' the split separator must be within the ()
of the split function
End Sub
