>Don't I remember some sort of syntax to refer to the nth character in a string without using the substring function? It was along the line of MyString<3> or something, for example, to get the third character - (and no, I'm not confusing array functions). Anybody rememeber/know this or am I getting mixed up with another language I used at some point?

Sounds very C-like, since you can treat strings as arrays of characters. I don't think it's built into VFP that way.
