Hi Bernard,
Thanks for the info, but I have tried this with the field list, and I still get an error on the value data. My statement after being built looks like this:
" Insert into temptable (col1) values ("BAR.0000")"and it still thinks the value "BAR" is a column name.
Since this is Monday, I may just toss the program out the window and come back to it when I have settled down
.

>>lcFieldList = "FieldName1, FieldName2, FieldName3"
>lcSqlStr = "insert into " + lcTableName + "(" + lcFieldList + ") " + ;
> "values(" + lcFieldValues + ")"
