Sergey,

Thank you again. I tried out both your examples. I'm sticking with the second one. I'm assuming the only difference between your two examples is readability, correct?

When I watch the statement !("PCB" $ UPPER(fluid)) in the debugger it shows .F. once I get to the REPLACE statement. Why does it still step to the next line - DO CASE, instead of going to the ELSE condition. I just don't get it.
