Looks like all the structs in the array refer (i.e: they're pointers) to
the same 'a' struct in the first DIM.
Therefore, when you change the value in ANY element, you end up changing
it in all elements just because they're all pointing to the same
original 'a'.

Change the first DIM to this:

|  Dim a As AAAA |

and alter the first FOR as follows:

|  For i = 0 To 7 a = New AAAA 'New line. This makes 'a' point to a new,
different structure in memory in each pass     aa.Push(a) 'continue your
original code here |

That fixes it.
