>I am working on a program to count the number of occurances of words in a book (sgml format). To do this and keep it quick I am throwing the word into a two column array with the number of occurances next to it for each chapter then appending it down to a database when I am finished counting.. well low and behold at 32k rows (give or take) I got a variable too big error.

>Are there size limitations to an array? 65k elements (32k rows x 2 elements each) the max, is there anyway around it without creating a second array?
