Should I open an RFE or these are already in your specification?

Ok, but if you pass any object with the wrong type it doesn't raise any error,
so it is not very helpful to use typed parameters here
Moreover, you could also write a sub like this:
sub Test( myParam As Ciao)
Where Ciao is not an UDT but an arbitrary word

Yes I want to access via the Declare statement.
In VBA this is very frequent and many Windows API's require structured
parameters
In VBA you can also use Len(MyUDT) to discover the effective memory space
allocated from the UDT

No, actually it doesn't
