>Is there anyway I can search for a particular occurance of a charactor string? Say I have a memofield and I am searching for "bmp", can I somehow tell it search for the 2nd time "bmp" shows up? I know you can do that with atc() but it would be a lot easier if I could use atcline()

How about find the occurance of BMP you want, then, search just the text before it for carriage returns? Then you'll know what line its on.
