Thank you so much for replying, Bill, but I don't think that will work for me. I was hoping to use the code in an exploration, and I think this code will only give me the data in a debugger window, correct? I tried assigning the _Trace calls to variables, and then displaying that variable with AddColumn, but of course that doesn't work. I'm too programming ignorant to know why. It seems to me that if Ref() calls up a specific value in the array, then it shouldn't be returning an array, just that specific value. I'm sure there's a good reason why it doesn't work this way, I only wish I had some way of calling up a value from an array and assigning that value, and only that value, to a variable.

this:

DN = DateNum();
for (i= 0; i < BarCount - 1 AND Close[i]== Close[0]; i++);
_TRACE("firstDifferent = " + Close[i]);
_TRACE("DateNum = " + DN[i]);
