dont belive him.

If you're a c++-programmer, try to avoid macros whereever possible. The
gotw-pages contain some good reasons not to use them if you need some
arguments (http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/index.htm, #32, #77).

The compiler should accept const-dimensions for arrays, if not, post again
and show us your problem, naming the compiler and error-messages and
enough of the code.

Stefan.
