Array data after file close

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,
I suppose the Subject should be more like "Pop's lost it again!" <g>.


Apparently, when filling an array from a file, the array's data ceases to
exist as soon as the file is closed?
I was under the impression that DA() would continue to exist within this
procedure until it was either cleared or ReDim'd.
What's happening that causes it to reset all the fields to ""?

In the code below, the first "Print DA(i) works. But in the second
occurrence of PrintDA(i), the data is gone; it's become "".

The following code (pre/post code missing but all shown is contiguous):
------------
ReDim DA(8) As String
Do While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, DA(i)
Print DA(i); ' This prints the expected data
' Text1 = Item
Loop
Close #1
For i = 1 To 8
Print DA(i) ' All it's printing is "" here?!
Next i
-------------------

Where'd the data go??

TIA,

Pop`
