I have an array declared as Public Line(100) As String but when I try to use it later, line(channel) = "F", it gives me a compile error. Am I missing something?

What's channel?

Anyway, declaring Line(100) declares 101 entries, ranging from 0 to 100.

Post the piece of code which gives the compile error please.

Line(channel) = "F"

It's the error it's giving me is Expected: List separator

Post the code around that one line.

Anyway, are you sure the "'s are indeed "'s? Perhaps one of them is ''?

If ResistanceFail(channel) >= ResistorFail Then
Failed(channel) = 1
Line(channel) = "F"
End If

I checked and they are double quotes.

:         If ResistanceFail(channel) >= ResistorFail Then
:             Failed(channel) = 1
:             Line(channel) = "F"

"Line" is the name of a type of control. My guess is the compiler is confused as to whether you are referring to your array or the built-in type.

Damn :-S I think you are probably right about that :-S. It's always annoying to see the limitations of VB...

I'd advise you change the name. I know of no other way...
(Line is also a function of a Form)

It was probably the Line method of the form that was causing the naming conflict rather than the Line control. I've seen too many coders I work with who declare variables with the same name as the class of object they are instantiating like this:

Dim clsFoobar As clsFoobar

VB actually allows this idiocy.
