Hi Dovi ---

We'll solve this yet :-)

Let's see if I have this right. The customers are in a table called "long_distance" with the following significant fields:
code (which is the rate code 1..2...3..etc).
Theer is a view, view1, which I assume is a child of long_distance which contains the calls. A significant field in view1 is dialednr with is the number the customer dialed. So far correct?

Now, the rate table is (code,country,rate1,rate2,..raten)

I am assuming that "result" in your sample code is a time factor, like how many minutes?

And you need to solve a given rate for a given view1 record, right? Try this:

FUNCTION getrate()
PARAMETERS cDialednbr,cCode,nResult
cRateField="rates.rate"+cCode
IF LEFT(cDialednbr,1)="0"
   SEEK LEFT(cDialednbr,6) TAG code IN rates
ELSE
   SEEK LEFT(cDialednbr,4) TAG code IN rates
ENDIF
RETURN EVAL(cRateField) * nResult

Try this :-)
