Without the issue of blanks (which macro evaluation can't handle in any case, since you can't macro expand the result of a function), EVAL(lcTableName + '.' + lcFieldName) works just great.

That's much cleaner. It seems that EVAL(lcTableName + '.' + lcFieldName) works even with leading and/or trailing blanks in lcTableName and lcFieldName, though.
