Is there a reason you can't declare the array as Variant[]? I don't have any problem inserting an integer array into a variant 
array.

This code:
Public Sub Main()

   Dim a As Variant[] = [1, 2, 3, 4.5, 5]

   a.Insert([6, 7, 8])
   For Each b As Variant In a
     Print b & "\t" & TypeOf(b)
   Next

End

Yields:
1       7
2       7
3       7
4.5     7
5       7
6       4
7       4
8       4
