Bill I tried the following code in the message box in 6.5.1 and it gave the results that you are expecting:
Code put "1" into tArray[1] put "2" into tArray[2] put tArray into tAnotherArray put tAnotherArray[1] & lf into tP put "6" into tArray[1] put tArray[1] & lf after tP put tAnotherArray[1] & lf after tP put tP Output 1 6 1 Perhaps dgData is not such a normal array after all?
