Hi Martin, I'm not sure, I don't use VB that often, I just need to use it
for my Uni project at the moment.


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.



Many thanks

John.

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?
