I'm sure there's a common way to reinitialize all flds of this array of records to 0 or null strs. but I can't remember or find info. As always your help is much appreciated. DIM RECORD myRec DIM 30 myName$ DIM 15 someInfo$ DIM 15 moreInfo$ DIM element1% DIM element2% DIM element3% DIM END RECORD.myRec DIM myArray.myRec (720) I want to be able to reset all str$ to "" and all elements% to = 0 for each of the 720 reiterations of the array without a FOR - NEXT loop. Can I? TIA Roger M. Clary MacMUSE Software MacMuse@... http://members.aol.com/macmuse
