If your project has a .BAS file as its startup file, skip to step 3
below.

1. Create a .BAS file in your project, and make it the startup module.
2. Put in the startup module the following lines of code to show your
   first form (assuming your form is able to handle things from
   there.)

	formName.SHOW 1
	END
3. At the beginning of the .BAS file, DIM your arrays like this (I
   _think_ this is correct syntax; if not, it is pretty close and
   should get you on the right track) :

	DIM COMMON SHARED MyStringArray$(1 TO xxx)
	DIM COMMON SHARED MyNumericArray (1 TO xxx)

Hope this helps; drop me a note if not and I'll see if I can dig up
some code in which I have done this.
