Sergey,

The expression in lcBEFORE is as follows:

"thisform.MAX("DIA A 1, DIA A 2, DIA A 3, DIA A 4, DIA A 5, DIA A 6, DIA A 7, DIA A 8, DIA A 9, DIA A 10, DIA A 11, DIA A 12, DIA A 13, DIA A 14, DIA A 15, DIA A 16, "

I need to include the rest of my memo field in the string literal. The missing part is:

"17, DIA A 18, DIA A 19, DIA A 20")"

Does this help give you any ideas?

Thanks,

Joe
