Phillip,

You question got me thinking... I have an application called DataDictionary. It has a program called ModifyStructure. The code in this program is quite complicated and not quite efficient. I just got an idea: create an object (say, based on line for simplicity), add two custom properties: aTableFields and aTableIndexes. Now, in my program I can instantiate two objects and make comparisions in the table structure with what I have in DataDict/IndxDict table.
The code would be now much simpler, than I currently have.

>Aha!!! Just figured it out. For those of you that want a simple solution to my problem (at least the ground work), the way that I solved this was to create a class (custom, container, whatever) and add an array property (class.thing[1]). Then, add objects to your class like crazy (run-time is what I'm going for). When you add these objects, redimension your array property and point that property to your object.
