Hi Conrad...
I dont know the answer to your question as I know nothing about VB script
but have done a little programming in VB (Access) and you declaration
statement looks odd to me ......surely you need to declare the variables of
your array separately
and THEN declare your array.

 <%
 Dim i
 Dim t
 Dim q

 t = Cint(Request.Form("c"))

 For i = 1 to t
 q(i) = Request.Form(i)
 Next
 %>
As already stated I know nothing of VBscript so I have answered mainly to
provoke comment from others...

the other thing ...Dont you have to declare your variables AS something
 dim i as integer etc)

hope It has helped (probably not)
