I knew I could count on the UT and most likely you lately. I assume you write code with VFP for a living because you seem to have all the answers. How does that saying go, "You've probably forgotten more than I will ever know". Thanks again Sergey!!

>>I am using an array in a program and on the first pass through a method, it is possible that the array hasn't been created yet (the routine is primarily for subsequent passes). Of course I get an error when I do a ALEN on the non-existant array. I have tried various commands to see if I can check for it but they all generate an error. Is there a command that can tell if an array (or variable of anytype), exists without generating an error?
