Jim,

Alex's solution points out an anomaly in FoxPro's array handling. Try this for yourself:

DIMENSION a_demo[1]
? ALEN(a_demo, 2)
* You'll get 0
DIMENSION a_demo[1, 1]
? ALEN(a_demo, 2)
* You'll get 1

This can cause a real headache if a routine checks an array to see if it has multiple columns. The code:

IF ALEN(a_anything, 2) = 1

will fail if the array isn't created using the second DIMENSION statement above.

Note, however, that both a_anything[2] and a_anything[2, 1] will always yield the same result. Provided, of course they exist ;-).
