SYMPTOMS
A list box will not display the array if the first element of the array contains a null string.

For example, the following macro will display an empty list box: Sub Main Dim MyArray$(3) For x = 0 to 3 MyArray$(x) = str$(x) next x     ' Set the first element to a null string MyArray$(0) = "" Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 180, "Microsoft Word" OKButton 6, 8, 65, 20 ListBox 6, 39, 167, 123, MyArray$, .ListBox1 End Dialog Dim MyDialog as UserDialog Dialog MyDialog End Sub



RESOLUTION
Change the first element to contain one of the items from the array.



STATUS
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
