Hi Ben,

this is the way (re)dimension works ::(
Foxpro arrays are one dimensional, they only apear as two dimensions. You can always access a two dimensional array as one dimensional.
i.e.

dimension arrBen(4,4)
arrbem = ''
arrben(2,2)='1'
?arrben(2,2),arrben(6)

If you change the number of columns all cells stay in there one dimensional order. (this is no problem if you change row number only, because the rows are added on the end)

>This redimension of my array does not keep my memory in the same(original) location. The word 'TEST' is now in (2,1)...furthermore, it is inconsistent. Why can it be that my redimension is not functioning correctly? It doesn't keep the variables in it's original spot. Compatible is set off.
