Chris,
I just wanted to make sure that it was clear that the only time they'd need to resort to writing code is when the string needs to be longer than will fit on the property sheet.
>Thanks all! Previously the developer would have to dim the array and place the elements in it manually (which is not such a big deal really) - I was attempting to simplify this for a new developer who has joined our company but writing a few more "developer friendly" base classes. Thanks as always for your comments and suggestions.
