Zero allowed in arrays??

[Toby1kenobe]

Dear All

I'm new to arrays and am having reasonable success. The problem i'm having is trying to write zero to an array variable, like:

sanctionarray(0) = Forms![points input].Check1

where check1 is a check box (and therefore i need to use zero)

by the way sanctionarray is set as byte, could this cause problems??

Thanks
Toby

Hello there, The problem as you state is not with your array but with the type your array is set to. A Byte has a value of 0 - 255. While a checkbox has one of three values 1) Null - The check box is neither on or off 2) 0 - The check box is not set 3) -1 - the CheckBox is checked.

Neither null nor -1 values can be set to a Byte Variable even a array variable.

Hope it helps
