Smith,
I can understand you wrong, however there is not something as size 40 in
Net.
I assume that you mean a string, however that can be as long as you wish.
It depends with what you fill that what the maximum string is.
By instance in a textbox you can set the property that the maximum allowed
characters is 40.
However, a string can be from any length.
The most simple Array is simple
dim x(09) as string() which is an array of 10 strings (at global lever I
would use private x(09) as string()
Be aware that you can redefine this one but you would not want that.
As soon as you don't know the size of an array you can use an arraylist or a
generic one of that.
There are however all types of so called lists which are what in past was
called arrays.
