hey Macer,


I did exactly that, so I copied and pasted what you have given me, but it still returns datatype mismatch...
this simple code is just want I putted in
***********************************************
local superid, act
act = 'search'
superid = 'IW/NP/MR 2002/7 '


if act = 'search'
locate for alltrim(TRANSFORM(casema.caseid)) = alltrim(superid)
endif
************************************************
my casema.caseid field is a character field, so I don't know why is it doing that.
the vartype stuff is just to see what kinda field was I getting...
.... really want to know why ahh...
this stuff works, but just prompts me with that message... you know how I can just display error popups?

Thanx
Tom
