Hi,

Try something like this -
thestring = "codelist.code" + xcode
codename = &thestring.
But I'd use field()
John

Why won't this line of code work:
codename=codelist.code(xcode).value

I get the message "Object codelist not found"

Where codelist = my dbf
xcode = an alpha character
codelist fields = codea, codeb, codec, etc.
thanks
