Make arrays the properties of the form.

>Hello,
>Quick question, sorry if it's basic but, starting to learn.

>I need to display two arrays in two list boxes on a form. Currently I am trying to use the following code inside of either the load or init event of the form, it doesn't seem to matter on use, neither way works.
>
>m.temp=cgdrive+oform.cbssrchordno
>IF DIRECTORY(temp)
> IF FILE(temp+'seller')
> DIMENSION aseller[10,1]
> m.lcPath=cgdrive+oform.cbssrchordno+'seller'
> FOR i=1 TO 10
> aseller(i,1)=""
> next
> USE(m.lcPath)
> COPY TO ARRAY aseller
> ELSE
> DIMENSION aseller[10,1]
> FOR i=1 TO 10
> aseller(i,1)=""
> next
> ENDIF
> IF FILE(temp+'buyer')
> DIMENSION abuyer[10,1]
> m.lcPath=cgdrive+oform.cbssrchordno+'buyer'
> FOR i=1 TO 10
> abuyer(i,1)=""
> next
> USE(m.lcPath)
> COPY TO ARRAY abuyer
> ELSE
> DIMENSION abuyer[10,1]
> FOR i=1 TO 10
> abuyer(i,1)=""
> next
> ENDIF
>ELSE
> MD &temp
> DIMENSION aseller[10,1]
> DIMENSION abuyer[10,1]
> FOR i=1 TO 10
> aseller(i,1)=""
> next
> FOR i=1 TO 10
> abuyer(i,1)=""
> next
>ENDIF
>
>After reaching the last ENDIF the arrays disappear. I know that the arrays would be scoped as private but, because they are in the form itself wouldn't it work? I can only get this to work if I declare the arrays public. Could someone explain this to me please?
