>I have an array that is in a visual class used on a form. In a method of that class I set la_array[1,1] = "MAIN". When I compile the application that includes that form I get Unable to find Unknown la_array. I've tried putting EXTERNAL ARRAY la_array before the form is called in the main code and after the array is declared but that didn't do it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you are using this array in more than one method of the form than you should make it a property of the form. Otherwise it would be only visible in the method where it was declared.
