I'm trying to create form containing a LISTBOX. I create and fill an array
(ext_hist) in an external program and in the LISTBOX Properties I place the following:

column count = =ALEN(ext_hist,2)
number of elements = =ALEN(ext_hist)
row source = ext_hist
row source type = 5-Array

In the FORM'S Init procedure:
External array ext_hist
thisform.list1.value=ext_hist(1)
thisform.list1.numberofelements = alen(ext_hist)


As soon as I EXIT the Form's INIT procedure I get error message
"Objects cannot be assigned to arrays."


Why?

TIA
