Thanks for responding.

I darn near have the program working.  I just have to read in a string from the keyboard and compare it to 
the revelant record.  I am doing this as per following program snippet:

IF IsMatch = Str.Match (title,singlebook[x].TITL THEN
  (*print the whole RECORD of singlebook[x].????*)
 ELSE
  (*Display to user that no match was found.  Then loop back to start of program to allow another search*)

I am using 'x.' so that the whole ARRAY will be searched along with the field.
IsMatch is declared as a BOOLEAN.

Am I on the right track?

As for the actual record:

BOOK = RECORD
	  TITL : Title;		(*TITL, AUTH, COPI AND DATE are an ARRAY of CHAR*)
	  AUTH : Author;
	  COPI : String;
	  DATE : Due;		(*Eventually this will be arrayed so that I can have up to 
	  END;			  four Dates per book*)

Library = ARRAY [1..maxbook] OF BOOK;  (*according to all the references I read, this line should take 
the four fields in record BOOK and address them per ARRAY until it reaches the maximum or before (if 
the data file is shorter than maxbook)).

I found out that this is not the case, since my data file is set up like:
TITL
AUTH
COPI
DATE
    :
    :
DATE
 
maxbook relates to the number of lines in the data file.  

	After some work the other day, I successfully called random fields, within the program, from the 
array and displayed them.  I did this by changing the 'x' to 1, 2, 3 . . . for whatever book II wanted along 
with the field.  This is what I initially had problems with.  Now when I do a search from the keyboard to 
find the title of a book for instance, I can pull up anything I want, which should not be.
  	Is it something to do with the variable 'x' as noted above with the Match.  Or should I approach this 
from a different angle.

Thanks.
