Well the code you have posted here won't even compile. If woopsydoozy's solution still doesn't work for you then also post the code behind your button that is assigning the text to the text boxes

Solution 1

If you're declaring the array inside your Form_Load event, it's a procedure-level variable, and so as soon as the Form_Load ends, the array is gone. Move your Dim statement outside the Form_Load to the class level.
