Steve,

First, look at the syntax for COUNT TO.

Second, I assume what's going on here is that you're populating the array with values in one of the lookup tables fields. If so, you can declare the array, DIMENSION it to 1, then issue SELECT Field FROM lookup WHERE code = 15 INTO ARRAY asite.

Third, I assume that this is occurring multiple times because of multiple values of the code field. If so, I'd make it (one occurance) a method and pass the code number and array as parameters.
