John,

Field(Exp) returns the name of the field. If you want the data in the feild you need to Evaluate the name as in;

CLEAR
FOR lnCount = 1 TO FCOUNT( )  && Loop for number of fields
	? EVAKUATE(FIELD(gnCount))  && Display each field
ENDFOR
?
? 'Number of fields: ' + ALLTRIM(STR(gnCount -1))

Hope this gets you in the right direction.
