If I declare a class with an array DIM'd at the beginning, the subs within
the class get a type mismatch when they try to access the array.

Don't get the error if I define the array within the sub, but this is
useless for me, as I need class scope for the array.

I had the same problem, and I still don't understand why. Try this
Class CTest
        Dim somearray()

        Private Sub Class_Initialize
                ReDim somearray(0)
                somearray(0) = Null
'or             Set somearray(0) = Nothing
        End Sub
End Class

  What am I doing wrong with vbscript 5.1?!

This is a known "limitation" in the current implementation of VBScript classes.  You can only Dim simple variants at "class level", even though no error is thrown when you Dim foo(), Dim foo(99), or Const bar = "bar" at "class level".

This has _not_ changed in the version 5.5 beta1.

Thought I was going nuts - couldn't find such documentation anywhere.

I reckon in VB6 most of my classes contain array type data as this type of
complex data benefits lots from oo. Seems a real drawback to using classes
in VBScript.

In the end I used a Script Component.

Yes I used dim xxx() and then tried to redim later.

What is the Dim Statement you are using?  I believe you have to use "Dim
YourArrayName()" to declare a dynamic array in this situation.
