...it doesn't look that way to me.


(Having obviously created the Class "CVarExpect")

Public Sub Form_Open()

  Dim CVarExpertArray, NewCVarExpectArray As CVarExpect[]

  CVarExpertArray = New CVarExpect[]
  
  Print CVarExpertArray

  NewCVarExpectArray = CVarExpertArray.Copy()
   
  Print NewCVarExpectArray

End
