Look at the help file. LOAD ARRAY and SAVE ARRAY.

you can only load an array the you had previously saved using the save array command...

also..not sure...but don't dim it before you LOAD ARRAY either

Works fine in DBPro, so you must be using DB Classic...

Use 'load array "planet.txt",planet$(0)' instead.

No - you need to dimension your array as you have been doing before you load data into it.
