>Hi Michelle,

Sigh. Everyone seems to be missing the point. Or does it seem to be such an obvous question that no one is actually reading what I'm saying?

The variable name and the field name are _NOT_ the same. If it was, this would be a no brainer. One is "lname" and one is "clname".

Sorry if I sound cross. I'm just getting a bit frustrated.

Thanks,
