>Well in your example you don't need to pass the array since it's a property and you're calling a method so you can just use `this.Array` directly. This is actually a common scenario I use to 'pass arrays' - wrap it into an object then pass the object instead of the array.

DECLARE laItems[2] 

laItems[1] = "Rick"
laItems[2] = "Markus"

loObj = CREATE("Empty")
ADDPROPERTY(loObj,"aItems[1]",laItems)
SET STEP ON 
? CallMethod(loObj)

RETURN

FUNCTION CallMethod(loObj)
return loObj.aItems[1]
ENDFUNC

>I hate arrays for so many reasons - the funky initialization, in ability to return arrays from functions, the cumbersome way to manipulate or modify arrays etc. In fact long ago (pre Collection class in VFP) I created some array collection wrappers to make all that easier and it solves the problem you mention above.

>These days it's probably a much better idea to use the FoxPro Collection class (or a custom class) in almost all places where Arrays are used.
