    **Firstly, apologies for posting this as a new thread. Waiting for
    Easynews to turn on posting as the Uni doesn't offer a news server,
    and having to post through google.**

    Anthony,

    Thanks for your suggestion.It certainly helped...

    On reading over your suggestion, I tried adding:

          for (int Counter = 0; Counter < 50000; Counter++) // Fill array
    to prevent Null Errors
          adic[Counter].word = new String();

    which resolved the original problem, I'd filled the array as a whole,
    but forgotten to fill the word part..but it is now throwing a
    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 20 with the line

                            adic[i].links[cnttwo] = adic[cntone].links[0];

    which I guess is the second bit you were referring to..

    I tried rewriting as: 

    --
for (int i = 0; i < adic.length; i++) { // Take each member of arrays
dictionary in turn
	int cnttwo = 1; // Initialise second count variable, 1 as links[0]
already filled
	for (int cntone = 1; cntone < (adic.length - 1); cntone++) { // Take
each member of arrays dictionary in turn
		if (adic[i].word.equals(adic[cntone].word)) { // Compare against the
word we're looking for
			adic[i].links[cnttwo] = adic[cntone].links[0]; // If it matches,
add it as next reference
			//delete adic[cntone] // Delete anagram as repeat, now listed
elsewhere and to prevent multiples
			cnttwo++; // Increment reference by one
		}
	}
}
--
So it should be comparing adic[0].word with adic[1].word, then storing
in adic[0].links[1] if found, before comparing with adic[2].word,
storing in adic[0].links[2] etc... up until the end of the array.
.
I was thinking this would prevent it going over the end of the array,
but didn't have the desired effect... I'm sure I'm missing something
simple..?
Cheers,
Darryl
