As an fyi, local hVec[5] is a shortform for the above in PowerPro. > I'm inclined just to document problem, if it is one.

Sounds like a lot of work. > That would not be consistent with the overall syntax of =, which allows any value of be assigned to any variable, regardless the variables current value. I could imagine a syntax like handle. = x (note space after .) which could be interpreted that way, but I agree it is too specialized to bother with. Since only excel vba supports, and not vanilla vbscript, if I understand your previous correctly, it seems reasonable to continue to treat var_with_handle = x the same as any other assignment.
