>>Actually, it's a little more complicated that than. Note that TYPE('OBJECT.NAME[1]') returns 'C', not 'U'; that's true for all native properties of an object. The best way I've found is to test for element 0 as well, because while an array can't have an element 0, TYPE('OBJECT.NAME[0]') still returns 'C'. So, the following routine will return .T. if the specified property for the specified object is an array:

lparameters toObject, tcProperty
>>return type('toObject.' + tcProperty + '[0]') = 'U' and ;
>>  type('toObject.' + tcProperty + '[1]') <> 'U'

Nick,

Do you think it's better to create one FAQ for all IsArray or IsObjectPropertyArray functions? In this case we will see all necessary information in one place and it would be simpler to compare different methods for different purposes...

Also Trey suggested another approach, which might be worth considering...
