Since VFP stores arrays as single variable names I may have been incorrect in my statement. However, as you fill the 65,000 elements of the array you will eventually exhaust the memory pool for memvars.

If you see my response to Ed here, this is not exactly correct (if I understand what you are saying). The following does not cause an error, and fills both arrays as expected:

DIMENSION la1(60000)
DIMENSION la2(60000)

FOR i = 1 TO 60000
	la1[i] = i
	la2[i] = i
ENDFOR

the sum of the filled elements is well over the stated limit for memvars as prescribed by MVCOUNT.

>VFP has a limitation ofnthe size of the memory allocated for memvars. That memory is also configured by the MVCOUNT setting. Setting MVCOUNT does not only affect the number of names you can have, it also affects the amount of memory set aside for memvars. You cannot exceed either of those limits.

Ed pointed out that an array uses only a single name in the name table. Seeing as how I have very little idea what a name table does, I'm not sure how this affects your assertion.
