Im trying to figure out a way that I could make an array of references to arrays (or even just arrays for that matter) for the purpose of creating a hash table, but i cant find a way to do this without creating a new object type that just has an array variable in it. Is there another way ( i dont want to use a two dimensional array, that will waste too much space).

Also, does vb support arrays like php? I dont know the technical ter for this type of array (i think its reference array), but they work like this:

Array["arrayidx1"], Array["arrayid2"] .... Array["idxn"]

thanks in advance.
