you need to add the count of the array elements. or ReDim it. This is visual; basic though and not php.

Private MyStates(0 to 49) As String
MyStates(0) = "Kansas"

Or

Private MyStates() As String

ReDim MyStates(0 to 49) As String

MyStates(0) = "Kansas"

As for the class just use a function to select 3 randoms and have it except the actual capital as a param so it can loop through and find it in the array.
