Ahh, the reverse of those pesky VB problems! (In recent versions of VB (starting with 5.0 or maybe even 6) you can start an array at any element, so it's easier to overcome).

Here's one suggestion -- if the read/write code is tight enough (i.e. all in one method) you might consider defined constants.

#DEFINE d_0 1
#DEFINE d_1 2...

I use the d_ prefix because AFAIK, you cannot, in foxpro, define one number as another outright.

Here's another suggestion -- write a method to more easily wrap the code you are dealing with -- so you could call THIS.WriteElement(1) and the WriteElement method would do the subtracting for ya.
