No, I suspected before I posted it. I ain't that dumb.
Postscript: Tried Paul and Mike's solutions and neither worked...although kudos for trying. I kinda gave up on that approach and moved on. But it occured to me that .Net really needs an equivalent to the EVALUATE() function. I don't want to use the word "literal" since .Net has already hijacked it for other uses but maybe we need a CTxt() function to convert a string to what we call a literal. I was talking to some .Net gurus today and they agreed. Man, that would be useful.
