Default Trouble with Arrays / Collections

Hi there,

I'm trying to get my head around multi-dimensional collections.

What I'm trying to do is to run through a column of data and check if each
cell value is "correct" (through some other logic). If it is not correct
then I want to add the value (string) to a collection and its associated
cell reference.
I'm assuming thus far that I need a 2 dimensional collection?

Now, if further down the column I come across the same incorrect string, I
want to find the existing collection item and add another cell reference to
it.

So (where "Bob" and "Mary" are NOT "correct"):

Bob
Mary
Susan
Bob

Would therefore be added to the collection as:

Item 1 ("Bob", "A1")
Item 2 ("Mary", "A2")
Item 1 ("Bob", "A1" & "A2")

Can anyone help me get this sorted out?

Thanks in advance

John

PS - The reason that I'm trying to use a collection rather than an array is
that I'm assuming that it's easier to reference the elements by name
(string)? I happy to be corrected!
