Hi Chris....try this

sele filename
X = afields(flds)
dime flds2[X]
for i = 1 to X
mnewfld = 'm.'+flds[i,1] && Should create the m.FieldName(i)
moldfld = 'xxx_'+flds[i,1] && the memory variables
&mnewfld = &moldfld && Move the value into the "m." field
endfor

You might have to play with it just a tad, but I've used similar code often.
