How to set a component's value within a field. The following 3 examples ARE FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT.

Example 1:

oField.Value(1) = "Smith"

oField.SubComponentValue(1, 1) = "Smith"

oField.RepeatValue(1, 1) = "Smith"

Example 2:

'To really create a repeating field do this

oField.Value(1) = "Smith"

oField.RepeatValue(2,1) = "Jones"

oField.RepeatValue(3,1) = "Davis"

oField.RepeatValue(4,1) = "Wilson"

oField.RepeatValue(5,1) = "House"

At this point oField.Value(0) would be (assuming that the Vendor objects RepeatDelimiter is "~":

Smith~Jones~Davis~Wilson~House
