oops, my bad. Thanks for pointing that out.

>When I tried your sample the error was "variable crstr not found" because of what I assume is a typo (you set up crtstr but reference crstr). There is also a missing + sign. Otherwise, it works for me

>>Thanks Beth, I'm going to try that, but I have run into another problem. I did a sample messagebox and kept getting errors that my "variable msgstr is not found". Here is the sample:
>>
>>

>>LOCAL msgstr,crsprod,whsamt,tqpu
>>msgstr = ''
>>crsprod = 'product1'
>>whsamt = 2
>>tqpu = 1
>>
>>crtstr = "You don't have enough "+ALLTRIM(crsprod)+" Product in the inventory. You are trying to deliver "+STR(whsamt)+" and you only have "+STR(tqpu)+" inventory in stock. Please click 'None' in the option or reduce the amount you are trying to deliver in the 'WHS Qty' column"+CHR(10) + CHR(13)
>>msgstr = msgstr + ALLTRIM(crstr)
>>
>>
>>crsprod = 'product2'
>>whsamt = 5
>>tqpu = 4
>>
>>crtstr = "You don't have enough "+ALLTRIM(crsprod)+" Product in the inventory. You are trying to deliver "+STR(whsamt)+" and you only have "+STR(tqpu)+" inventory in stock. Please click 'None' in the option or reduce the amount you are trying to deliver in the 'WHS Qty' column"CHR(10) + CHR(13)
>>msgstr = msgstr + ALLTRIM(crstr)

>>MESSAGEBOX(msgstr,0,"Warning, correct the delivery inventory amount")
