DIM and Associated Fields (GRX)

John,

That is true in 5.6.  I don’t think one cam build an array across
non-contiguous associated fields in older versions.

If I recall correctly, I asked about this as I was building an fp
spreadsheet type application for a client and after about 6 months he asked
me to expand the elements.  This required me to add 5 more sets of
associated fields which used different arrays.  

Fptech was advised on this and fixed this in a later version.  Maybe 5.0.14
but this should work in 5.6.

Not sure of the lookup piece though.
