I tried using the external command without luck. The problem is although I am passing the array by reference, when I look at my local variables in the init of the form the parameter taStats is a numeric and not an array. If I create a form as the following: oForm = CreateObject(@laArray) and in the init of the form I have: LPARAMETERS taArray. So, taArray should be an array. Hmm...actually, I just realized I am using a DOFORM function to instansiate and show the object, maybe there is something going on there. Let me check that out.
