As an example, here is how to create a single array and append data. Dim Array_Numbers() as Integer Array_Numbers.Append 15 When I attempt to make a multi-dimensional array, a syntax error is being thrown. Dim Array_Numbers(,) as Integer Array_Numbers.Append 15,5 The Language Reference has an example with a dimensioned array with elements defined. In this case I do not know how big the array needs to be. I am guessing I am missing something simple. This code is running a machine with Windows 8, Real Studio 2012 r2, on a Windows IDE. Thanks for your help, Eugene Last edited by eugenedakin on Wed Dec 19, 2012 1:57 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Instead redim the array and set it's values Top doofus Post subject: Re: Dimension Multi-Dimensional ArrayPosted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:44 pm Joined: Thu Sep 10, 2009 2:50 am Posts: 320 Location: Santa Cruz, CA, USA eugenedakin wrote:In this case I do not know how big the array needs to be. If you really can't pre-know the sizes use a different data structure. A 1D array of 1D arrays or a 1D array of classes or a class that acts like the 2D array you're after. What way are you intending to use this 2D array and 'Append' to it?

Ok my question is solved, there is nothing available at the moment. Thanks for your response.
