R=94. If R is less than L, then the range is a null range, and specifies an empty set of values. What, exactly, is My_Array (forgive the language) pointing to? Is any memory allocated to My_Array? -------------------------------------------- Rick Duley North Perth, Western Australia --------------------------------------------
