Lotus Notes GetItemValue = Type Mismatch using VBScript

Basically I've looked everywhere for this, and my code appears to be correct.
I've tried using:
arrName = fDoc.Getitemvalue("PC_Name")(0)
But that errors with a Type Mismatch

Using:
arrName = fDoc.Getitemvalue("PC_Name")
Does work and puts the data in, but then I try to access it and get type mismatch.

I tried doing:
wscript.echo fUNID(0)
and that works.
But replace it with arrName(0) and I get a type mismatch.

In the variable window, they are both exactly the same, and both contain 1 string value (0)
The data IS there, as I can see in the variable window, that the correct data is showing up under arrName(0)

I've tried Dimming, but as I'm not using option explicit that doesn't matter I don't think.
Any ideas?

Set notessession = CreateObject("Notes.Notessession")
Set notesdb = notessession.GetDatabase("SERVER", "DATABASE.nsf")
 
Set notesView = notesdb.getview("VIEW NAME")
Set fDoc = notesView.getFirstDocument
 
i = 0
Set fDoc = notesView.GetFirstDocument
ReDim fUNID(0)
Do While Not fDoc Is Nothing
	
	ReDim Preserve fUNID(i)
	fUNID(i) = fDoc.UniversalID
						
	arrName = fDoc.Getitemvalue("PC_Name")
         wscript.echo arrName(0)     'ERROR IS HERE
 
	Set fDoc = notesView.GetNextdocument(fDoc)
	i=i+1
Loop

Try this

Do While Not fDoc Is Nothing
	ReDim Preserve fUNID(i)
	fUNID(i) = fDoc.UniversalID
						
	Set arrItem = fDoc.GetFirstItem("LastName")
	arrName = arrItem.Text
         wscript.echo arrName
 
	Set fDoc = notesView.GetNextdocument(fDoc)
	i=i+1
Loop

Or this, converting explicitly to a string-type:

        arrName = fDoc.Getitemvalue("PC_Name")
        wscript.echo CStr(arrName(0))

Thanks, that link is perfect!
It was certainly weird being able to assign it and see the data, but not do anything with it.
