    Reposting:About constant

    Hi everyone
    I'm posting again this question as my system was down at time of the first
    posting...well something in the newsgroups was down.

    I'd like to know how i should declare a constant as an array with two
    dimension. I've tried the following but seems the syntax is somehow wrong.
    Can someone help me in doing so or any clue would be fully appreciate.

    Here is my bugged code:

    Const TableDOB(1..3,1 ..2) of String =
    (("John","76030 3"),("Paul","67 0403"),("George s","680902") )


    Many thanks to all

      You can't. Constants have to be, well, constant. Arrays are not constant.

          There is no such thing as a "array constant" in Visual Basic. Simply use
          a variable and use it member by member. If you really want to do it all
          in one statement you can use the Array function, like:

          Array(Array("Jo hn","760303") , Array("Paul","6 70403"),
          Array("Georges" ,"680902"))

          But it's not what I would call readable code.

          Best regards
