I think you answered your own question. Arrays in VFP are actually one dimensional...it does some tricks to make them seem two dimensions.

It took me a minute or two to realize I was refering to a one dimensional array with two dimensional syntax because in this code I'm also working with some two dimensional arrays, but I was a little surprised when I found that I could refer to a row that doesn't exist (similar to the sample above). Arrrggh. This would cause an error in other languages.
