I haven't looked thoroughly at your code, but I think that the problem is being caused because you are possibly forgetting that arrays start at 0. when you dim an array dim array(52) you are essentially creating a 52 element array with indexes 0 to 51.

To fix your code either dim the array as 53 (hence ignoring element 0) or you would have to change all of your loops to begin at 0 and end at 51. I'll check the rest of your code after work to see if I am missing something else.

It's not easy for me to test DBPro code because I don't have it, but this If Endif has a goto in the middle. Somehow I think that the program may get confused by not reaching the Endif.

if a=>40
for x=1 to 52
usedcards(x)=0
next x
goto restart
endif

try

if a=>40
for x=1 to 52
usedcards(x)=0
next x
start = 1
endif

If start = 1 then start = 0: goto Restart


Although Goto is best avoided in programming.

yes "goto" is a taboo in "structered programming"

This may also be a problem:

if a=>40
for x=1 to 52
usedcards(x)=0
next x
goto restart
endif
a=0

This bit of code means a will reach 40 once and never be reset so every loop program will jump to restart.

Change to this:

if a=>40
for x=1 to 52
usedcards(x)=0
next x
a=0
goto restart
endif

*edit*
oops just realised that will mean a is reset to 0 every time a<40 - what I said is probably of no use - sorry
