<div>Dear Phil,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just to help me understand, what is the story with the empty member [] ? It appears to be part of the locate function call, is there a bracket missing? Is it meant to be an array member?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Otherwise, not sure but I know that there are issues when using <font size="2">VarArrayCreate Routine (which you are not <em>directly </em>doing) </font>with "<font size="2">The element type of the array, given by the VarType parameter, is a variant type code. This must be one of the constants defined in the System unit. It cannot include the varArray or varByRef bits. The element type cannot be varString or a custom Variant type. To create a variant array of strings use the varOleStr type code. "
