Thanks for the responses. A variation of the eval() function did what I needed for this particular experiment. I used the FIELD() function to get the name of the field into a varable lcField, (needed for other things, too) then used EVAL(lcField) for what I wanted.
The references I found for buffering all describe CURVAL() and OLDVAL(), but don't describe the use of EVAL() in this context.
Lots of interesting ideas in the thread. I'll have to go through them and figure out how they work.
Thanks again,
Neil Preston
