>Sorry Victor, that wouldn't work either. It would look for a macro named "m". As others have pointed out, you need to use EVALUATE() or leave off the "m." altogether.

Doooh! "m" would have to be a varable name to do it my way.

Select MyTable
lcCountry = mytable.country
IF &lcCountry..Condition
...
...
EndIF

I assume the EVALUATE() is faster though.
