Like Bill Leddy said, it's probably a two dimensional array. A fast way
to determine which variable is the culprit would be to put a TRACE or
break point at the Selection to Array and look at the variables to see
what they're defined as.

If this code is in a [Contacts] form, and you're using the same name for
some fields and variables, 4D may be interpreting them as fields. For
instance, Phone, may be interpreted as [Contacts]Phone, which would
cause a problem. I seem to remember that this only occurs if you use the
Default Table command, but I'm not sure.

You might want to weigh the possibility of looking into the idea of
considering a better variable naming convention that would allow you to
tell the difference in fields, single variables and arrays. Check out
some of the discussions on GMane: <http://search.gmane.org/?
