>>I have a memo field that has a list of report names. How can I check the memo field and see if the list contains a certian string? Thanks for the Help.

store the memo field to a string variale...

m_str=mytable.mymemo

Then you can use any string function to search for your string....

$.. will give a boolean answer
occurs() will tell you if it exists and how many times it exists

others you might look up in help.....

at()
rat()
atc()
ratc()
