With all due respect to your University, but VB sucks as a teaching
language IMO. Doesn't your Uni have better development tools? Any
professor that advocates VB is not worthy of the title.
guru Edsgar Dykstra - "A person whose introduction to programming is the
Basic language is mentally mutilated beyond hope of redemption". Those
who ignore the lessons of history are bound to repeat them.
Many thanks

Are you sure there no dynamic container objects in VB that support an
"append" method? Lists?
If not (and I find that hard to believe) you could hack around it by
appending the names to a string, then parsing the string and then
dimensioning your array, or you could build a linked list but ... surely
VB has more intelligent containers than statically sized arrays?
