We're not going to do your homework for you so you'll need to be a little more specific on what has you stuck.

i'm stuck on if i need to create a multidimensional array and a lookup table in a single array or if it's just a multi....

You should also say which version of VB you're using. Otherwise any help you get may be accurate but incorrect for what you're using.

As for your specific question, the way I'd recommend doing this if you're using VB 2005 would be to create a class for your 'structure' and a generic List to contain instances of this class.

I would suggest doing as the homework suggests, and create a structure with the information required, and a single dimensional array to store each instance of the structure.
