Stazzer,

Are you saying that you can DIM a Dynamic array like..


DIM X(_maxInt,_maxInt)

and that both columns will be dynamic?

What I have been told on this list by some sorts is that only the first
column will actually be dynamic.

What is the real deal?

Do we have a Dynamic Duo, or just a cool Batman Single plus a hitchiker?
