>I am using the following code to build a URL. NAME is a column name in my table. Even though &name is within quotes, it is picking up the value of the column NAME and inserting the value in the URL. I can not replicate this in the developer, only during execution. Any ideas how I can keep '&name' as a literal?

Hi Brenda, you can try this:

URL = 'http://www.whitepages.com/search/Find_Person?' + ;
  'firstname_begins_with=1~name_begins_with=0~firstname=~name=' + ;
  save_lname + '~city_zip=' + save_zip + '~state_id='

URL = STRTRAN(URL, "~", "&")
