Checking for duplicate within a 2 dimensional static array
Hi, I'm trying to ask the user to enter a bookid within a text box. But I want to verify that the entry hasn't been made. It would caompre against the bookarray(arrayindex, 0) within the 2 dimensional array of records and if it isn't there, then go to the bottom and then add to the array the new entry.....
The array index was declared at the beginning of Dim bookarray(50, 5) As String. Need some help. Thanks
Public Sub Readbookfile()
arrayindex = 1
Do While Not EOF(1)
Input #1, strBookid, strBooktitle, strCat, strAuthor, strCost, strFlag
bookarray(arrayindex, 0) = strBookid
bookarray(arrayindex, 1) = strBooktitle
bookarray(arrayindex, 2) = strCat
bookarray(arrayindex, 3) = strAuthor
bookarray(arrayindex, 4) = strCost
bookarray(arrayindex, 5) = strFlag
arrayindex = arrayindex + 1
Loop
Close #1
End Sub

such as ...
Private Sub AddRecord()
Dim Addbookid As String
txtBookInfo(0).Text = Addbookid
arrayindex = 1
Do While Addbookid <> bookarray(arrayindex, 0)
just wanted to know if i'm starting on the right foot....

and I would want to add it to the last spot in the array using the ubound(bookarray(arrayinde
no, to do-looping would be ok
that last-spot-adding:
it would maybe a good idea to resize the array by using redim with preseve before going ubound

Really? I thought REDIM and PRESERVE were only for dynamic arrays...how would you use them for static arrays?
