Thanks Michael.
I suppose I will have to find another way to represent the data, yes.
We are tracking fire progress across a landscape, based on processing of
MODIS (http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/) data.
Thanks again,
Meghan

"Arrays of any built-in or user-defined base type can be created.
(Arrays of composite types or domains are not yet supported,
however.)"

representing it?
