<span style=”color: #464646; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;”>Is anyone else using Visual Basic 2013 this year? We have declared an array of records and are trying to populate the fields using a csv file. We have declared the array in the main program to be able to access it in a number of sub routines. Has anyone done anything similar? Do we need to declare parallel arrays instead of a record structure to achieve this?</span>

Thank you Scott. Have you successfully achieved getting data into an array from a csv file?

Yes. However, I no longer have VB installed and cannot access the code…

I am sure someone out there has some code.

Its no different to parallel arrays, you just use the structure that you have created.

Thanks Scott I thought that too, but it just doesn’t seem to be working with vb 2013.  I am currently giving up as we can just use parallel arrays for the coursework task  when  importing data from csv file.  Just annoying that it won’t work for array of records…Grrrr!
