How do I build an array from database fields?
I'm urgently seeking a tutorial that will give me a mid-level knowledge of using arrays in Crystal. What I need immediately is something to guide me through assigning values from a database field to a specific location in an array that is initialized with four blank elements. If database field = 'PRINT' then Array [1] := 'PRINT' else (leave Array [1] blank). If database field = 'FAX' then Array [2] := 'FAX' else (leave Array [2] blank). And so on.
Thanking you in advance,

If I go the way of the 1st example, I then get a string variable that might look like ('PRINT','{blank}','{blank
Is this literally an array? Or is it just a string? How do I examine element [1, 2, 3 or 4] to see what's in it (which is what I need the array for)? If stringvar[1] = 'PRINT' then thus and so?
Thanks,
