I dunno. For whatever reason my string array brings up the error "Array index out of bounds" when I try to set it to a value. Obviously, this means my index is to large/small. But I checked, and it was one. my array is defined as having 1000 elements. Vero odd. I can reproduce it in smaller code, and I don't want to post my large code.

I'll have to see this to believe it.

I'll try to narrow it down to some code....

Configure

Dim unused$(1000)
Global unc

Function configure()
 fil$="hi"
 unc=1
 unused$(unc)=fil$
End Function

for whatever reason, this produces the error. Is it just me?

This happens because you are calling Configure before the array has been Dimensioned.

The preprocessor doesn't check for Dim because you can reDim arrays later so it must be Dimmed at runtime.
