Paul,

What is your problem. . . are you saying that Item(x,9) can have different types from entry to entry? While certainly not impossible, it is unusual, and should be something you can "fix".

Just in case. . . as long as all the Item(x,9)s *are* the same type, ASORT will work for you.

good luck,
Jim N

The array seems to work fine in the code, but when I attempt to assign it to a property in my object, all of the fields are duplicated.
