• Dlwilliams two dimensional array questions

  Hello: I am working with a 2 dimensional array of strings. It seems that you cannot use redim preserve to change the left element of a 2 dimensional array.  Does that mean I have to declare the array with the actual size, i.e. myarray(1000,1)   If so, is there a way to trim off the unused elements at the end of my procedure If I do this declaration (with the total size of the array), what is the function to show the actual num ...Show All

• Tim Attaway Problem with databind a control on an inactive tabpage
