Perhaps you are running an ancient version of filePro?

This small test generates no error in 5.6 or 5.0, though it does in 4.8:

   1  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: dim who(6)
   2  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: sl(1,.0) = listbox(who)
   3  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
        ◄ If:
        Then: xx = mid(who[sl],"1","4"); yy = mid(who[sl],"6","30")

Unless, that is, you have a typo, and have "s1" rather than "sl".
