Does anybody here know how to link to arrays together in visual basic.
What i'm trying to do is have a persons name and their skill level as an integer linked somehow so when i bubble sort the integers the names will sort according to where their corresponding skill is. If anyone could help i would be grateful, thanks.

Why don't you make each person a record? You can make your own user-defined type something like:

Type Person
     Name as String
     SkillLevel as Integer
End Type

Thanks for replying, i've never really used records before but i'll give it a go, thanks again.

stand alone or web
and is it .net or 6??

u could use database rather than records as well

Should i create an array of records and how do i get that array of records to be sorted by a certain data in there so player skill, so confusing, starting to realise how limited my vb knowledge is, if anyone can help, our school doesn't even have a proper sdd teacher, our teacher left leaving us with a 2 maths teachers. One taught the 3 unit computing which involved sdd but has forgotten everything, i feel like applying for one of those misadventure thingos at the board of studies.

Well, once you have created you user-defined type (as above), then create an array of Persons (e.g People) of datatype Person.
e.g
Dim People(5) as Persons

Now each item in your array has a Name and SkillLevel property. These can be accessed like:
Msgbox People(3).Name
People(3).SkillLevel = 15

vb.net or vb6

Heh you could of also utilised a Hashtable, which i'm not sure if VB 6 has.

I think he is talking about vb 6.
How many of your class is using Visual Basic.net? Just out of curiosity.
Our class is screwed too, the teacher we have has no idea what Visual Basic is. And she doesn't even know the stuff in the text book.
