>>>Hi,

>>>Currently I pass a char variable tcAttachment to procedure by way of an empty object. Here is the brief extract:

>>>ADDPROPERTY( oParameter, "attachment", tcAttachment )

>>>Above code adds a variable tcAttachment to the object oParameter

>>>Then, code passes the parameter to some procedure EmailProc()
>>>

>>>lSuccess = EmailProc( oParameter )

>>>
>>>Within EmailProc() the code extracts the parameter cAttachDoc
>>>

>>>cAttachDoc = oParameter.attachment
>>>

>>>
>>>I need to change the character variable to the array. So, the top line will change to:
>>>

>>>ADDPROPERTY( oParameter, "attachment", taAttachment ) 
>>>

>>>In the above line the parameter taAttachment is now Array instead of the character. Will it work?

>>>UPDATE. I found that I add the array to the oParameter as follows:
>>>

>>>ADDPROPERTY( oParameter, "attachment(2)", "DOC1.PDF" )
>>>oParameter.attachment(2) = "DOC2.PDF"

>>>
>>>Then to get the value from the oParameter, I would have to use:
>>>

>>>cValue1 = oParameter.attachment[1]

Yeah, I started to write that you should use ALEN(), but realized that wasn't sufficient, so mentioned the loop. Didn't occur to me that you didn't know you could use ALEN() on a property array. Most of VFP's A... functions work on property arrays. When they don't, you can use ACOPY() to move the array to a regular variable.
