Well, I do have a legit copy since 1999 (though I'm only having to learn VB now), and I do read documents, even quoted/pasted from it as you see, but probably haven't gotten to every word yet. I'm more used to the precision and style of documentation of assembly and C. But thanks, I do see where it automatically ReDims, and have now discovered the Ubound function. Good luck getting that stick out. Guess we wouldn't need a forum if we were all such crack programmers. ;-)
