>firstelement- 2 ( because want to display second column) [1st col used for sorting]

Hi, Bill-

I'm not Bonnie, and I haven't even played a Bonnie on T.V. *bg*, but if you'll allow me. The FirstElement property only applies to single column arrays and designates the first item in the list.

So, if the array is something like this:

WITH thisform
	.aItems[1] = "One"
	.aItems[2] = "Two"
	.aItems[3] = "Three"
ENDWITH

Then, setting FirstElement = 2 will show "Two" as the first item and you won't be able to get at "One".

HTH.
