Neil,
1) You're trying macro substitute a numeric.
2) Even if that worked alias name should be string and not a numeric
3) Even if you passed that step "select lncount" line woudl always look for an alias named 'lncount'
Suppose you wanted to have aliases like "_1", "_2", "_3" ... instead.
lncount = 1
scan WHILE vwmactionnot.actionno = 1
USE vwmmembership IN 0 ALIAS ("_"+ltrim(str(m.lncount))) again order tag username
SELECT ("_"+ltrim(str(m.lncount)))
BROWSE NOINIT nowait
lncount = m.lncount + 1
endscanCetin
