Thanks, I think I will play with your suggestions
for awhile. Sounds like an easier solution then using
collection objects in VB.

>However, you can pass arrays to a COM object. The array should be redimensioned from the calling program to the appropriate size (the COM object cannot resize it and will cause severe problems if it attempts to redimension the array). You can use properties of the COM object to determine the size of the array required to hold the data.

>COMARRAY(ox, 11)
>
>*-- the object knows how many items are required for the 'collection array'

>lncols = ox.ncols
>lncount = ox.ncount
>DIMENSION temparray(lncount, lncols)
>
>*-- transferdata is the COM method that will populate
>*-- the passed by reference array with the data
>ox.transferdata(@temparray)
>
>*-- temparray now has the 'collection items' from the COM Object

>RELEASE ox
