did a simple wrapper so could get my job done, but still wonder.
isn't there anyone else experiencing the pain?

Code:

function MultiDimAscan($array,$scanfor)
dim $
$MultiDimAscan = -1
for $=0 to ubound($array,1)
 if $scanfor = $array[$,0]
  $MultiDimAscan = $
 endif
next
endfunction


and I wouldn't have to consider this at all, but doing 1400 queries against msSql server with kixtart always crashed after 1300+
