Totally agree Doug. I also do "array tricks" a lot especially in FP2.x days. Just wanted to remind there may be times that this is a shortcut.

>I agree. However, there are times when using an array is easier or better. For example, it's easier to fill an array with variable information (such as user-specific) than to build a string. Also, creating a table with a lot of fields (like an FRX) can cause an error because the command gets too long, whereas using an array works fine.
