The second dual of the vector-valued function space C0(S, A) is characterized in terms of generalized functions in the case where A* and A** have the Radon-Nikodým property. As an application we present a simple proof that C0 (S, A) is Arens regular if and only if A is Arens regular in this case. A representation theorem of the measure μh is given, where , h ∈ L∞ (|μ;|, A**) and μh is defined by the Arens product.
