The list box can not see the gatbls array because it's declared local. My sample must have confused you, sorry about that. You can create an array property by typing gatbls(1) to the list in the name text box of the New Property window or in the init event of your listbox like this:

OPEN DATABASE stkmktdat
this.AddProperty("paList(1)","")
ADBOBJECTS(this.palist,"TABLE")
this.RowSourceType= 5
this.RowSource = "this.palist"

Now you should see the tables in the database in the listbox.
