Rick,

I'm still confused as to what I'm seeing even after understanding what you said about the addproperty using the literal string to declare the array. I understand and have fixed my code.

But, try this new code and the array that is passed in the object does not contain the second array element - only one element which is 'Rick'.

Try my fixed code that is slightly enhanced that tries to access the 2nd element of the passed array and it isn't found and crashes with 'Array dimensions are invalid'.

Also, see my variable lnElementCount in the CallMethod and the value is always 1. I guess I'm not seeing the entire array being passed - just the first element.
