Oops, double pasted:

Function COmpareArrays() As Long
Dim a1(10) As String
Dim a2(10) As String
a1(2) = "Soome data"
a2(2) = a1(2)
Debug.Print ArrayCompare(a1(), a2())
End Function

Function ArrayCompare(ar1() As String, ar2() As String) As Boolean
'Return 0 for different, -1 for the same 
Dim i As Long 
If LBound(ar1()) <> LBound(ar2()) Then Exit Function 
If UBound(ar1()) <> UBound(ar2()) Then Exit Function 
For i = LBound(ar1()) To UBound(ar1())
  If ar1(i) <>  ar2(i) Then Exit Function
Next
ArrayCompare = True
End Function
