Good morning all,

Does anyone know how to address a named Array, for instance:

Array_States(1) = "New South Wales"

Array_Name = "Array_States"
Value = Array_Name(1)

Therefore, Value = "New South Wales"

I know that this looks very messy, but hopefully you can understand what
I mean.

Basically I have about 20 or 30 arrays that I want to be able to called
via one procedure, and just change the array that each name that I am
referencing.

Any assistance you may be able to provide would be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

William Foster

off the top of my head, I would make use a dictionary or a hashtable
of arrays - depending if the arrays were the same type...

William,

Be aware that this is a 24 hours newsgroup not only for New South Wales.

It is hard to understand for me what you want, but the most goes in my idea
the answer on your question to Enum.

How about using dictionarys + lists/arrays instead

For example:

State("New South Wales")(0) = "Some Province/State"

Thanks for the tips everybody, I am interested in the dictionary option,
I haven't used that previously.

I will give it a try tomorrow and call out for more help if I need it (I
am trying to be positive, but I am pretty sure I will need it).

Yours sincerely,

William Foster
