runtime error: list index out of bounds
What does that mean?
I would like to try to fix the error myself, I would just like to know what that means so I can rectify the problem, as far as I can see the code is fine.
Thanks in advance,
Farkas
P.S. Can some one help me on this please... [link]

Another place this error occurs is when you use pick() on an empty list.
[edit] Considering how confusing this runtime error is for people when it occurs in pick(), I just made a change so it will report "pick() from empty list" as the runtime error instead. Lummox JR |

Thanks for the replys, however, how would i go about...
names in a list, they are picked, when they are, they are removed. What i want is if when there are no names in the list, move onto another proc. i have var/R = pick(list) I dont want any code posting, i want to be pointed in the right direction, something to look up, something to think about. Please help if you can Thanks, Farkas |

Instead of pick(), use for().

For example, you try to access somelist[9] when somelist only has 8 items in it. It can also occur if you try so access somelist[0] or any other value that's less than 1.
