Performance

I am attempting to move data from a recordset directly into an array. I know this is possible, but specifically I want to do this in VBA as this is being done in MS Access 2003.

Typically I would do something like the following to archive this:

Dim vaData As Variant 
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset

' Pull data into recordset code here...

' Populate the array with the whole recordset.
vaData = rst.GetRows

What differences exist between VB and VBA which makes this type of operation not work?

What about performance concerns? Is this an "expensive" operations?
