User Defined type question

Public actor() As actorbase
Type actorbase

num As Integer
pos As String
model As New Actor8
End Type

ok theres the basic layout, now my question is can i have a string bound directly to the actorbase root....

in other words.

actor(0)="abcd" 'this returns an error

Types don't work that way. Instead:

VB Code:

Public Type FooType
    FooString As String
End Type
 
Public Foo As FooType
 
' and somewhere else
Msgbox Foo.FooString

its got to be possible. Notice when you declare a workspace:
Din wrksp as Workspace
wrksp = 'something

well its not a huge problem, I can run my ubound search on this type another way.....

this way would have just been cleaner and quicker..
