>>>Array will be scoped for the snippet (event,method) where you issued DIMENSION, therefore if you issue thisform.lbLabel.caption = xTemp(500,1) from another snippet, you will get the error. Also (minor point) it's nicer to use xTemp[500,1].

IMHO, it depends on whether he's using this (quite large) array to hold items like captions for all forms or whether it's form specific. If the former, either a Public array or an Application property-array (if he has an application object) would be required.

Actually, Jim, I'm curious what a 999 row array is used for if it isn't table data?
