Weird and Horrible Problem??!!

[David Burgun]

Hi All,

I have some code that does this:

put "KindStart" into myKind

Then, later on it does this:

switch myKind

case "KindStart"
..................
break
end switch

The problem is that it never hits the case "KindStart" statement. I  
put a breakpoint in the Script that does the switch and the variable  
is set to "KindStart", but it doesn't hit the case statement.

Perplexed and after a lot of mucking around, I did this:

put "DATA1" into gArray[myKind]

When I set the variable.

and

put gArray[theKind]  into myData

When I switch. However, the above sets myData to empty (although  
looking at the array in the debugger, there *IS* an entry for  
"KindStart" and it's "DATA1" as expected

I then do:

put "DATA2" into gArray[myKind]

And when I look at the Array, there are now *TWO* entries that read  
"KindStart","DATA1" and "KindStart","DATA2"!!!!!!

How can an array have *two* identical entries??? My guess is that  
they are not identical and that I just can't see the difference using  
the debugger?? Maybe some non-displayable data got in there some how?  
The Kind could be stored in a Custom Property is that makes any  
difference.

Any Tips on how to track down what is going wrong here would be  
greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
