calling an array in vb6

i have an array called word() with words from 1 to 10. i also have an integer variable called number, and this variable will change every time a certain command button is clicked. what i want to know is how to call the array with my variable (if that makes any sense)
for example: i have tried code such as
msgbox(word(number))
but to no avail, i have have been stuck on this for a while so any help appreciated. :thumb:
