Hi, Mike.  Perhaps you can show us what you mean.  If you are talking
about the annotation data slot, that is meant to be the string name of
the annotation data package associated with the array.  I guess that
you do not have an annotation data package for the array, so you can
leave out that slot when creating the ExpressionSet.  If you have
problems, it is best to post the code and, of course, your
sessionInfo().
