The subscript of an array is an expression, which can be a simple variable 
if you need.

That is a syntax error.  The "DIM" keyword is only for declaring arrays, not 
variables.

   ct(3,.0) = "0"

I see nothing wrong with this code snippet (aside from the aforementioned 
syntax error).  It will go through the first 99 elements of the "adz[]" 
array, and for any that is equal to the first element of the "ady[]" array 
(which you don't show here), it will be set to "Y".

Perhaps if you explain what, exactly, you are trying to do, and what you 
mean by "allow a variable in an array", we can help you better.
