>1. I'm doing a "copy to array". Well, duh, unlike practically every other FoxPro command that creates an array, this command does not resize an existing array. Thus the array is truncated. I think that is very inconsistent behavior. That, IMO, just doens't make sense since you can certainly control which records are copied via SCOPE or the FOR or WHILE options. And with the FOR and WHILE there's no way that you will necessarily know the number of rows you will copy. Ok, I guess the workaround is to simply wipe out the array, but can you do that if it is a form property?

You don't need to know exact size of the destination array. If you redimention array to one item, ACOPY() will resize it.

dimension this.alabels[1]
=ACOPY(laArray, this.alabels]
