Nadya gave you a solution to the problem. But to answer your question about why is that a named expression (the "(i)") isn't valid here. I'm guessing that's what you want with the parens, and not that you're trying to access the notes fields as a collection.

Anyway, you need either EVAL as Nadya showed you, or a macro, as in:

FOR i = 1 to 5
    lc = LTRIM( STR( i ) )
    DO CASE
        CASE note&lc
            myCode
    ENDCASE
ENDFOR

All this assumes these fields are booleans, right?
