using an array twice; problem with DIM 1

[MikeT]

I do alot of date oriented stuff, so I wrote a script to generate a dropdown list of dates; it shows the last 52 Sundays. I used an array to store all of this info, then put it into the dropdown. I use this script as an #INCLUDE wherever I need a dropdown of Sundays. Now I need the user to choose 2 Sundays, and I can't #include the script twice because of the two DIMs for declaring the array. I tried doing a Sundays()=nothing between the two #include calls, but that didn't work. How can I get around this?

Includes are read by the pre-processor and included before the compilation and caching of the ASP. You can do nothing about it in execution.

Good point, I forgot about that...

You can also Dim the array using the "Array" function

Dim arrArray
arrArray = Array(Sunday1, Sunday2, Sunday3)

' More code here
'.
'.
'.

arrArray = Array(Sunday1, Sunday2)

Indexing starts at 0.

This is a nice technique, because you can also set your variable to single value.

arrArray = Sunday

You can DIM your array in the file including the include-file...
Like this:

Dim arrSundays(51)
<!--#INCLUDE FILE=&quot;../Includes/Sundays.asp&quot;-->
[...]
<!--#INCLUDE FILE=&quot;../Includes/Sundays.asp&quot;-->

This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...
