I was just looking at your original posting.. yes you tried everything but the right one :-) I didn't notice you had put down all what you tried..
This would be the correct one... the only one you hadn't tried..

Works like a charm. Thanks Joe!

That has worked for me.. Write to me offline if you still cannot figure how to include those double quotes before and after the $col_name$.. Joe ----- Original Message ---- From: Eli Schilling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thursday, April 5, 2007 3:24:18 PM Subject: HELP - Building EXTERNAL table qual using table loop ** So I need to build an EXTERNAL qualification using a table loop. When the user opens a form there is a hidden table that looks to another form to determine associations. The table loop builds a list of these associates into a qualification (i.e. ['Manager*' = $col_MgrName$ OR 'Manager* = $col_MgrName$...] etc) and sets a field with this value. The EXTRNAL qual on the table then grabs this field. The problem is I can't get double quotes around the column value. So I end up with 'Manager*' = Steve Smith...and of course without the double quotes the qualification fails. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? I have tried: "'Manager*' = " + $col_MgrName "'Manager*' = " + """ + $col_MgrName + """ "'Manager*' = " + """"" + $col_MgrName + """"" Thanks in advance! Eli Expecting?
