Hi,
I am stuck with this logical error and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. When I debug this program the array's do not contain the data from the textboxes that the user enetered. as far as I know the code is in the correct format but I may be mistaken. I need to use the public shared array's in order to allow otheer forms in the program to access the data. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, C.D.

I am not sure I enered this code propeerly in the web page editor either because it came back as all comments. If you could explain what I did wrong thier also I would appreciate it.
Have a nice day, C.D.

        _decTotalPrice(_intCurrentEvent) = decTicketAmount * decPricePerTicket

        ' Record Ticket Section for later use
        _decTicketSection(_intCurrentEvent) = decTicketSection

        ' Record amount of tickets purchased for later use
        _decNumberOfTickets(_intCurrentEvent) = decTicketAmount





    End Sub

Hi, Every one I figured out my mistake weeeeeee.
Here is the solution

' designate an Event code # to be used as array placement retrieval variable show event code on form
btbSubmit.Enabled = True
lblGeneratedEventCode.Text = _Count.ToString
lblGeneratedEventCode.Visible = True
' Designate the Array index as the Event Code
_intEventCode(_Count) = _Count
'''''''''''''''''''''Thinking this may need to be changed''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' add 1 to _Count
_Count += 1

I had to change the above code to :

' designate an Event code # to be used as array placement retrieval variable show event code on form

    btbSubmit.Enabled = True
    lblGeneratedEventCode.Text = _Count.ToString + 1
    lblGeneratedEventCode.Visible = True



    ' Designate the Array index as the Event Code

    _intEventCode(_Count + 1) = _Count + 1


    '''''''''''''''''''''Thinking this may need to be changed''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

    ' add 1 to _Count

    _Count += 1

    Therfore the info in the attay's added up to the event code I lose one array space but I will live with the overhead.
    Have a nice day, C.D>
