Thanks for the quick reply!
I see what you saying.. thanks for that..
My array is sequential tho.. its not a 2d array so records[i][j]
does not work.. I guess I could try one for loop that assigns each
column for one record and then increments i by 8 or something..
I'm thinking that could be trouble tho.
