Thanks Hilmar!! That works great!

>>Hi all,

>>I have a multi-function processor, sort of like a train station (methoddirector). It holds parameters passed from various functions and then sends them on (for various reasons).

>>Okay, I have methodX on a form:

*-- this will send some data and an array to the application.methoddirector

>>DIMENSION laMyArray[1,4]

>>laMyArray[1,2] = 4
>>laMyArray[1,3] = 'is spelled'
>>laMyArray[1,4] = 'four'
>>lcMyString = 'Testing Four'
>>lnMyNumber = 4
>>lnReturn = application.methoddirector(lcMyString, @laMyArray, lnMyNumber)

>>
>>Okay, so far... the PARAMETERS() of application.methoddirector will catch all of this fine...
>>
>>

*-- method.methoddirector
>>PARAMETERS pItem1, pItem1, pItem1, pItem1, pItem1, pItem1,

>> CASE PCOUNT()=2
>>  lnReturn = mehtod.oneparamterthingy(pItem1, pItem2)
>> .....
>>ENDCASE
>>RETURN lnReturn

>>I hope you can see the problem here. One of the items I passed in the first codeblock was an array. It might not be an array all the time, or anytime, based on what is sending data to the method.director. I need to be able to ascertain if there is an array passed to method.director which will need to have the '@' inserted.

>>When I do have to pass an array item, from a passed parameter array item, how do I determine if ANY parameter is an array?
