Thanks! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Took me long enough to figure it out, but I'm much more satisfied for doing so.

Good work, iamthejarha!

As to why declaring ship[] doesn't work, I assume (with no evidence) that elsewhere another variable named ship is being declared. See if it works if you change it to itj_shipnames[] or something (unique) like that.
