This means it's supposing that the field contains an expression which would mean something in Fox; since it's only one word, Fox tries to evaluate it as a variable, and can't find it. If the field contains an actual filename, you should omit the Eval() and say

lcVar=file.field

If this is supposed to be a filename and doesn't contain an extension, you'd better say lcVar=AllTrim(file.field), else you may end up with something like "Some .txt" - which would probably create "some.txt", but then you wouldn't notice that the name doesn't completely match what it says in the table.
