*sigh* the man asked a valid question. Every time you yell "RTFM" at someone instead of answering their question, God kills a kitten.
There are different types of variables (a label representing a value) in qbasic: Numeric (integer, long integer, single pres., double pres.), and string (fixed and regular).
you can't mix and match strings and numeric values, qb assumes all varaibles (in this case, team.member) to be single precision numbers. So you have to specify that team.member is a string, either:
1) by referring to it as team.member$ (variables ending in $ are strings)
2) DIMing it as a string:
afterwords, any string value must but in quotation marks, otherwise qb assumes it to be another variable (in this case, bob).
