I think this is a fairly classic situation ... I have the same thing that occurs in several projects I inherited from the previous programmer. If I ignore the supposed "errors" when I build the project everything works fine. I tried using EXTERNAL ARRAY in the MAIN program in the project but it didn't do a darn thing. It's more of an issue with the parser used to check the project for errors ... it thinks there is a problem, but the actual generated EXE works fine.
