Jeff,

     Could you send me a source file that I can use to reproduce this? 
The following works for me:

class x {
   int myArr[20];
   x(void);
};

x::x(void)
{
   myArr[0] = 1;
}

Can you show a bit of code, there appears to be a couple mistakes from
your description.
if you have a private member function you would have to call that function
from a public member ( or constructor ) in order to modify your array. 
Did you mean that the member function was public?
You say you want to change the contents of Reg[6];   If this is actually
correct you would have to create a 7 element array,   if you meant you
wanted to change the array Reg, in that case you wouldn't include the
indexes. 

If you could send me a snippet of code I will look at it and see where the
error is at.  I think you are being confused by the error message which
may have taken you off on a wild goose chase.  error messages are
something we are trying to improve all the time.

You might want to download the error message database that works with
QuickView for online help.
