Array Advice!

I've realized that for this specific project, I really need to use arrays which are built dynamically. I have never used them, however, and it is keeping me from polishing off this project.

The attached form [see code below] allows the user to select multiple rows from the obligee listbox OR the principal listbox, and when the user clicks the "Search" button, it will build a query based on the select obligees or principals, and populate a form with data based on the search criteria.

So, basically, I need an array in which to store selected obligees and/or principals.

If someone could at least give me a little clue as to how to safely do this, I will be able to figure it out alright. This site wasn't working for me yesterday ;), so I was at quite a loss. I need to get this down in order to finish this project ASAP, but of course my MSDN library doesn't contain any array info and needs to be updated, blah blah blah.

I greatly appreciate any help...
