I see you used macro substitution as opposed to the parameterized notation (?somefield) the article indicated could be used. Given that, is there any advantage to using the field number in this kind of situation instead of the field name (or doesn't it make a difference)?

Hi Sylvia,

Just my .02 (US) here. I'd opt for names. I think it's more flexible. Using the field number ties query to the order of the field within the table. If the structure changes, say a new field is inserted, then this would have to change too. Using the name doesn't have this problem.
