I second that, and I'd love to have someone clarify the appropriate time to use arrays vs. more columns or an referenced tabled.  I've always found that confusing.

Thanks,

I would like to make a table of 20 plus columns the

The following test works. The array will hold up to five
characteristics of each parameter including the unit of
measurement used. Using traditional methods I would need six
columns to accomplish the same end (Min, Max, Norm plus a
unit column for each).
    

And why would that be undesirable ?
