hi bradyhartsfield,

Welcome to these forums. I see you struggling.

A few hints:
- When you post code(snippets) alway use code tags around your code.
- When you receive an error as you posted, how are we suppose to know what is wrong exactly ? The compiler gives you a clue, but because we cannot see what you have in front of you there is hardly any hint we are able to give you other then which the compiler is already telling you.

In this specific case you are providing a ShortInt while whatever assignment or call is expecting an array[1..19] of LongInt.

If you wish to have better feedback hen either post a snippet or your complete code that leads up to these errors.

It seems that way bytebites.

Reason i did not respond into the other thread is that this is an isolated error probably related to not understanding arrays. The other thread "screams" wanting to have code posted. So instead of TS' attempt to divide and conquer perhaps it would be better for TS to provide some meaningful feedback so that the topic of arrays becomes more clear for TS.

Let me try fast forward things a little: does bradyhartsfield understand the concept of records ? And as follow-up question: arrays ? And finally: array of records ?
