Scott,

Global ccData() As XmitData

In WinMain
REDIM ccData(1:1000)

It's been a year or more since I probed using an array with a TYPE.
Now I would like to do it, and while I can work around NOT doing it, it's a good time to do it:
I don't thin kI'm doing this correct however. I'm getting a "Missing Declaration CCData in the ReadCCFile function.

The program will use a freeware DLL to dial up and process credit card information, their freeware app dials per user, I want to send 106 users at one time in one dialed connection so it can be done without monitoring:

Type XmitData
     Fname      As Asciiz * 21
     MI         As Asciiz * 2
     LName      As Asciiz * 31
     CardNo     As Asciiz * 17
     ExpDate    As Asciiz * 5
     TransAmt   As Asciiz * 6
End Type
Global ccData As XmitData
global wCount as Long
In Winmain I declare:
Dim ccData(1 To 1000) As XmitData


And when the Process button is pressed I read the file, and this is where it gets tricky:

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function ReadCCFile() As Long
Local F As Long
Local St As String


'Sample of the file:
'John D. Doe, 0000000000000000,0800,10000
'Mary M. Doe, 0000000000000000,0102,20000
'Fname MI LName, CC #, Exp Date, Value\100 (No decimal)
If IsTrue Exist(SourceFile) Then
   F = FreeFile
   Open SourceFile For Input As #F
   Do Until Eof(F)
      Line Input #F, St  '
      Incr wCount
      ccData(wCount).Fname = Parse$(St,Any ",;",1)
      ccData(wCount).MI    = Parse$(St,Any ",;",2)
      ccData(wCount).LName = Parse$(St,Any ",;",3)
      ccData(wCount).CardNo = Parse$(St,Any ",;",4)
      ccData(wCount).ExpDate = Parse$(St,Any ",;",5)
      ccData(wCount).TransAmt = Parse$(St,Any ",;",6)
   Loop
   Close F
   Function = %TRUE
Else
   MsgBox SourceFile + " does not exist!",%MB_ICONSTOP,CCS
   Exit Function
End If
End Function
