>I am setting up a table where one of the fields in the table actually desribes the name of the field that I must use in a seperate table. The problem is that VFP will not allow me to do with because it thinks that I am referencing a string rather than a field name. Is there a way around this.

Matthew, Use a macro "Repl &myfield with ...." where myfield is the data in the first table.
