I second that, and I'd love to have someone clarify the appropriate time to use arrays vs. more columns or an referenced tabled.  I've always found that confusing.

Thanks,

I would like to make a table of 20 plus columns the
majority of columns being arrays.

The following test works. The array will hold up to five
characteristics of each parameter including the unit of
measurement used. Using traditional methods I would need six
columns to accomplish the same end (Min, Max, Norm plus a
unit column for each).
    

And why would that be undesirable ?
