>I'm sorry I didn't word my question properly. You are right that I don't want the public array, and I don't need it visible outside of the control. (I have no trouble doing that). My problem is I can't figure out how or where to create the array as a property of the control so I can fill it in the control init.

In the Form Designer, choose Form/New Property and for the property name, enter myarray[1] (substitute myarray with the name that you want to use). The array will be a property of the form and can be re-dimensioned at run-time.
