Why doesn't this array thing work?

[INF3RN0666]

Dim FData() As String
 
    ReDim FData(0) As String
    ReDim FData(0, 0) As String
    
    FData(0) = "ABC"

Can't I put text in the first level of this multi-dimentional array?

Since you ReDimmed it to a two dimensional array...... you have to specify where the data goes. FData(0,0)

Wait a sec...

This isn't making sense to me!

In php you can assign data into FData[0]. I thought this would also be possible in VB! Because if I put FData[0,0] = "ABC", then FData[0] is empty. but i wanted to have a database structure type of multidimentional array!

Dim FData() As String
    FData(0) = "ABC"
    FData(1) = "DEF"
    FData(2) = "HIJ"

And so on, : Or am i loosin the point of what u wanna do, but u dont have to re-dim it,

Assumption incorrect (like that anyway)

Oh a little addition to wot i sed above:

Dim FData() As String
    FData(0) = "ABC"
    FData(1) = "DEF"
    FData(2) = "HIJ"
 
    ' Array's take up memory etc, so u need to erase it AFTER you are DONE
    ' IE: msgbox FData(0)
    Erase FData()

so i cant assign anything to the first level of the array? That's dumb if it's true!

You can do:

Dim Arr(5,1) As String
 
    Arr(0,0) = "ABC"
    Arr(0,1) = "DEF"
    Arr(1,0) = "HIJ"
    Arr(1,1) = "KLM"
   ' .......

how do u mean by "First Level"?

FData() = Split("H E L L O"," ")

u can do that (im not certain if thats what u mean tho)
