-- Posted by kame at 4:17 pm on June 24, 2004 hey guys i am writing a program but when i run it the program works and displays what i want once i have entered the info in but as soon as i have entered the info it displays an error. it says its to do with this line "lstDisplay.AddItem names(index) + Str$(marks(index))" this is all of my code Option Explicit Dim position As Integer Dim names(10) As String Dim marks(10) As String Private Sub cmdend_Click() End End Sub Private Sub cmdGo_Click() names(position) = txtInput marks(position) = txtmark position = position + 1 txtPosition = position If position > 10 Then  MsgBox "Full", vbCritical End If Dim index As Integer lstDisplay.Clear For index = 1 To position  lstDisplay.AddItem names(index) + Str$(marks(index)) Next End Sub Private Sub Form_Load() position = 1 txtPosition = position End Sub -- Posted by sakurag at 8:01 pm on June 24, 2004 I don't know vb very well, but I think there might be a problem with the following lines: Code: ... position = position + 1 ... I'm guessing after you enter in a name or something, you increment your position by 1. Then later you go onto adding items into some sort of list display container. Code: For index = 1 To position lstDisplay.AddItem names(index) + Str$(marks(index)) Next Now what I think is a problem is as follows.  Because of the way you've implemented your position, it will always be + 1, everytime you get a new name.  Now, I'm not sure, but I'm guessing VB initializes integers to 0.  So say you start at 0 and you add 3 people, your count will be 0[first name] pos+1, 1[second name], pos+1, 2[third name], pos+1.  At the end of this, position = 3. Now later, you start to add items, and you index from 1 - position, for this case, it's 3. That means you are indexing names(1), names(2), and names(3).. well, names(3) doesn't exist. You might want to try doing your for from 0 -> pos - 1 Or use an iterator. Note:  IF VB indexes from 1->n and NOT 0->n-1, then you can fix this by incrementing position before you assign the text into the arrays. -- Posted by imsocrazy at 3:57 pm on July 15, 2004 have you said what poistion is? -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 5:29 pm on Sep. 3, 2004 only wussies use option explicit, but than again i dunno how to help you (forgot most of my vb) so i guess i am a wussie -- Posted by ckings6056 at 3:45 am on Dec. 8, 2004 I havent used VB properly for god knows how long!!
