"The only advantage VB has over some other languages is that it's built into the VB runtime"

Not sure how to quote, but the above says what I mean.

You know, I know, advanced programmers know that behind the scenes, a lot is going on (although, if the compiler has any sense it will be reduced to a "REP MOVSD" command in the end, which is very quick in small data situations).

"It's mearly creating a new one using a very expensive process"

The point I am trying to make is that in VB, there are commands that appear to resize an array. How this is done, to an average user, doesn't matter. I mean, if we were all looking for the "least expensive" ways of doing stuff, we would do most stuff in raw assembler. Sure, it will take more time to develop, but code costs running times would be reduced.

I am not meaning to start any arguments here, all I am saying is that the dimentions of an array can be changed. There are many more, optimal ways of achiving the same thing... but increasing an array using "redim" is cheaper, in terms of man hours, than developing a proper linked list. VB does hide all the inefficiences of the procedure, but to the end user, the array has been resized
