Ok, I need a way to allocate a array of longs dynamicly. However whenever I compile mine.. I get a error cause it is dynamic. I get error C2540: non-constant expression as array bound Anyway around this error?

You should probably post some code if you want more specific help, but if you want to allocate an array dynamically you just use the new word as so:

int size=SOME_NUMBER;

int *an_array = new int[size];

Where SOME_NUMBER is determined dynamically (i.e. from user input, file input, etc...). And if you no longer need this array you can free the memory as so:

delete[] an_array;
