I think it's a bug in the VFP help file. You cam report it the same way as you report VFP bugs at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2Fsupport%2Fvfoxpro%2Freport%2Freport%2Easp.

>I just read in VFP 7.0 help for ADEL():
>"If you delete a column, values of the elements in the deleted column are set to False (.F.), but trailing elements are not moved."
>
>But in VFP 5.0:
>"Deleting an element, row, or column from an array doesn’t change the size of the array; instead, the trailing elements, rows, or columns are moved towards the start of the array, and the last element, row, or column in the array is set to false (.F.)."

>I just tested it in 5.0 and 7.0 with this:
>

>dimension ga(3,3)
>for gn = 1 to alen(ga)
>  ga(gn) = gn
>endfor
>= adel( ga, 2, 2 )
>

>and got the same results in both versions.
>ga(1,1)=1
>ga(1,2)=3
>ga(1,3)=.f.
>ga(2,1)=4
>ga(2,2)=6
>ga(2,3)=.f.
>ga(3,1)=7
>ga(3,2)=9
>ga(3,3)=.f.
>
>Obviously the help file in 7.0 is wrong. Do I need to worry about future versions changing behavior to match the help file? Or will the help file be corrected in future versions?
>
>Also, where do I report this error in the help file?
