They/it don't exist.
In Open the array e(8,8) is declared as a local variable, which means
that its scope is limited to the Open event, which is long over by
the time you push the button. You will want to declare e as a
property of the window, and deleted the dim e(8,8) from the Open
event. Doing that assures that e will stay in scope.

Thank you.
A definite "getting started" oversight.
I find it interesting that the editfields are not a property of
the window by the method I used considering after the 'loaded'
editfields accept text that can be deleted etc as if they exist.
Considering they are all clones of the Editfield1(0) I placed on
the window I find this a little hard to work around. Just extra
code I guess.
I'm just back at this after playing in VB6 and I have to remind
myself of the diffs again; so thanks again.
all the best
Derek
The cloned editfields should be accessible as EditField1(1),
EditField1(2),...etc. In other words, they are elements in a control
'array' created by Rb, not to be confused with an array data type.
All that happened in your case is that the reference to your array,
e, went out of scope.
Best,
Jack
