>Yes, I have noticed that you can create the variable as an OLE Server... Is what I just said correct? Anyway, in VB you create references (I think), then you are allowed to Dim varname AS SomeTypeOfCOMServer. But in FoxPro, how do you add the reference?

I've no idea what is VB reference. In VFP you use strong typing to tell Intellisence what object or type library to associated with a variable. For COM objects you use Progid like in following example

LOCAL oExcel AS "excel.application"
oExecl.

In this case it more like a comment that describes what is stored in MyArray. Strong typing is not enforced at design time or at run time.
