Alright, Arrays are supposed to be global right?
So why is that I have declared an array
Quote: "Dim Mon$(10)"

Then I assign it a value
Quote: "Mon$(3) = "Garfield""

And then, in my function I do
Quote: "Print Monster$(3)"

And nothing shows up?
I'm dim-ing the array in my main program, above my loop, and I'm using DBPro.

comments?

I am SUCH a moron.
For the record yes, arrays are global.
Yes you can use strings as arrays.
And in order for your varible to print within a function, you need to put the statement above EndFunction.

that is all.

you can array anything, including UDT's
Mon$(3) and Monster$(3) are not the same array
Arrays are global
Affect your arrays within your functions, but don't try and pass/return em

Let's look at the array name you're using.

Mon$(3) = "Garfield"
Print Monster$(3)

Need I say more?
