I have a program in which I need to compare certain fields from two tables to determine if there are any changes in the values.

I have put the field names that I need to check to an array and seek both tables for matching records (by sin). Then I scan through my array which contains each field name (using a for loop). I then try to assign each alias name to the field name to compare. The field name is a variable for the current array element, and I am not sure how to reference the alias name to that variable.

My code is similar to this.

Select A
Select B

******Seek the sin I want in both tables and when found...****

x=0
For x= 1 to Alen(Afieldnames)
CField = Allt(Afieldnames[x])
If "A."+CField != "B."+CField
Replace "A."+CField with "B."+CField
Endif
Next

It is picking each field up as a string and always gets inside the If because the values aren't equal and then replaces the field with "A.FIRSTNAME" if that is the field element it is currently on.

I need to know how the syntax on how to check the field values (A.Firstname, etc...)

Any suggestions would be great.
