Array Help

[gidgetcracks]

I am making a Game called HangMan. :cheesy: I notice someone else has also but mine is due this Monday Comeing. I am having trouble with my Arrays. I keep getting am error :mad: saying "Index was outside the bounds of the array". I have been trying to fix it for a few days now and I cant figure it out. :eek: If you can help that would be great!
~~~Here is my code below~~~

I don't have vb.net. I have vb6 (which, in my opinion is better). I realize this doesn't help you with your problem, so take into consideration this idea. While logically, you would expect the LEN function to return the number of elements in your array... in my experience... it does not. (I find that it returns the length of the value of one of the index's). I think your best bet, when working with array's element counts, is to use "UBOUND" which will return the amount of elements in the array.

I'm sorry I couldn't paste your code, and run it... so that I could further pinpoint your particular situation, and I hope that what I have offered gives some help.
