Why do I get "type fault" error with:
' *********************************************
Dim nameArray()
Redim Preserve nameArray(3)
nameArray = Array("User_name","Password", "Bill_Company")
' *********************************************
I Copied it from a book.

I do not want to use nameArray(1) = x style couse my array is long like 24 elements.

In this case, you can try delete "redim" part. So, you'll have something like this:

Dim nameArray
'Redim Preserve nameArray(3)
nameArray = Array("User_name","Password", "Bill_Company")

Good luck,

No luck still not working!
I made wery simple test page.
The hole code is below:
Could some one test if it works for them?
Could it be something that mys PWS 4 not support this
array creation style?

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=windows-1252&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; content=&quot;Microsoft FrontPage 4.0&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;ProgId&quot; content=&quot;FrontPage.Editor.Document&quot;>
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<%@ Language = &quot;VBscript&quot; %>
<%
dim test()
'Redim Preserve test(3)
test = Array(&quot;first&quot;,&quot;second&quot;,&quot;third&quot;)
%>
</script>
</body>

Try:

Dim nameArray()
Redim Preserve nameArray(3)
nameArray = Split(&quot;User_name,PassWord,Bill_Company&quot;,&quot;,&quot;)

Hope this helps,

First.
This does not work in VB6 because you can not Preserve an empty array. I assume VBScript is the same.
Try this
Dim nameArray()
Redim nameArray(3)

Second
Array must have a Variant as target, not an array of variants (Dim Test() is an array of variants)
Try this.
Dim Test
test = Array(&quot;first&quot;,&quot;second&quot;,&quot;third&quot;)

Thank I got it to work.
I changed the declaration of array variable to variable type.

Strange that asp book gave different example witch did not work.
