Hi Sergey,

You're always a big help.

My error was that I was trying to double dot BEFORE the macro substitution. My bad.

Thansk alot.

Aloha,

James

I have a simple method that looks up the city and state based on the zipcode provided. I want to pass the method either "MAIL" or "RES" to determine which controls to update the residence or mail.
