Thanks guys for all your help. The problem is now solved.
I couldn't work out what was wrong because I was using the syntax you gave me. It turns out to be a problem with my data. I had created the array from a text file where the information was on separate lines. I assembled the records, one per line and used the split command with return and tab to create the array. For some reason the key elements eg 5555, ended up with both initial and trailing spaces and each digit separated by spaces. When I reference the custom property using eg "s5s5s5s5s" (where s is space) - bingo, the data appears. How this has happened I have no idea but at last I now have access to my data. Thanks to you all again. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
