Tim,
When you delete an array item, the entire row (unless you specify the column) is moved to the bottom of the array and given .F. values across the board. Simply re-dimension it using the current number of rows - 1 and the currnt number of columns.

Ex.
Adel(MyArray,nElement)
lnlength = alen(MyArray,1)
dimension MyArray(lnlength-1,alen(MyArray,2))

You can also surround this stuff with THISFORM.LockScreen = .T./THISFORM.LockScreen = .F. if you get too much flickering.

HTH.
