Hi,

"This is true for FoxPro 8.0 and below, but for VFP 9.0 LCK array functions can address up to 65000 rows (non elements !) in a array."

Yes you're right, it's 65000 rows.

But this is a theoretical limit, beyond a specific size the FoxPro array is just too memory hungry.

RELEASE ALL
lnMemory = VAL(SYS(1016))
PUBLIC laArray[65000,16] && to map about 1MB to a FoxPro numerical array
? "~ Used memory for array ", (VAL(SYS(1016)) - lnMemory) / 1024 / 1024, 'MB'

about 1MB of memory usage for 1 row with 65000 columns without assigned data!
conclusion: for any real mass data tasks the array is not useable in practice.
