| Besides of the already solved issue - which is fooling a lot of people - it's questionable if there's any advantage of using 2D arrays. The optimization is minimal, if there is one at all - there have been counter examples posted in the past, even the first help file example is faster with a nested array on my machine. IMO it's not worth having the quirk of being forced to think about an extra data type. Regards Daniel ----------------------------- http://daniel-mayer.at ----------------------------- |
