I've always used DIMENSION a[] to declare an array but I've seen some developers use DECLARE a[]. Is there some subtle difference between te two statements?

Laurie, I have always (maybe incorrectly) used Dimension when I wanted to pre define the type of the array:
DIMENSION ArrayName1(nRows1 [, nColumns1]) [AS cType]
as opposed to declare which creates a non type defined array.

From the Help file
DECLARE is identical in operation and similar in syntax to the DIMENSION command. For more information, see DIMENSION Command.
And Local a[nRows, nCols] and Public a[nRows, nCols]
Also, all four methods can optionally take the clause AS Type OF ClassLib

I almost always use LOCAL myArray[] to scope the array locally. DECLARE/DIMENSION creates an array with a private scope. PUBLIC myArray[] is global, of course.

Thanks everyone. I use LOCAL ARRAY in procs, funcs and methods.

Years ago I switched to LOCAL ARRAY MyArray[1] (...with the ARRAY keyword)
Great tip on the scope, Ted.
