How can I assign a set of text values to an array? Nothing I tried is working!
Months = Array("Jan", "Feb", ..., "Dec")
and others I tried do not work!

Here's something about VB: http://www.devx.com/vb2themax/Tip/18322
Visual Basic doesn't provide any way to declare an array and initialize its elements at the same time. In most cases you end up with setting individual elements one by one, as in:
Dim strArray(0 To 3) As String
strArray(0) = "Spring"
strArray(1) = "Summer"
strArray(2) = "Fall"
strArray(3) = "Winter"
Under VB4, VB5, and VB6 you can create an array of Variants on the fly, using the Array() function:
Dim varArray() As Variant
varArray() = Array("Spring", "Summer", "Fall", "Winter")
but there is no similar function to create arrays of data types other than Variant. If you're using VB6, however, you can create String arrays using the Split() function:
Dim varArray() As String
' arrays returned by Split are always zero-based
varArray() = Split("Spring;Summer;Fall;Winter", ";")

I'm pretty sure you can only do it like this:
dim months(2) as string
months(0) = "Jan"
months(1) = "Feb"
months(2) = "Mar"

It's pretty annoying. I try to use Collections whenever possible
If you're talking about vbscript then this works:
months = Array("may","june","july")
If it's vb.net then:
dim months() as string = {"may","june","july"}
