Ed OK, thanks. I have sometimes (often) thought that it would be useful (in VFP) if arrays could be 1-based but be capable of having 0 rows/elements.
To me it is intuitive that the first element/row should have index 1, but I sometimes want to remove all the rows/elements from the array and end up with an "empty array" Paul Newton Ed Leafe wrote: > On Oct 17, 2007, at 4:59 PM, Paul Newton wrote: > > >> What is wrong with 1-based arrays OR, to put it another way >> >> How/why are 0-based arrays superior to 1-based arrays ? >> > > They aren't.
