Thanks very much --- I guess I've grown accustomed to using VarType, and forgot about Type.

Would the following work to distinguish between arrays and collections?

lcProperty = 'oObject.oProperty'
Try
    lnCount = eval( lcProperty + '.Count')
    * Collection here
Catch
   * Array here
EndTry

Thanks
