|
I am currently working on the construction of a truck crane for Datsville's construction projects. It will be primarily based off of the #6361 Mobile Crane, with modifications. After much soul-searching, I've decided that it can't be Constructicon (...) (27 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) Actually, when you say Dim a(100) as integer, the array contains 101 elements ranging from element 0 to element 100. By default VB starts arrays at the 0th element (this can be changed). The Dim statement for arrays doesn't specify the number (...) (27 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

If you dimension an array of (say) 100 elements as : DIM a(100) as integer the array elements goes from 0 to 99, for a total of 100. So if your loop searches for a 100th elements it comes out with the "subscript out of range" error. Either restate (...) (27 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
