Hi Folks, I am seeking some assistance in referencing the value of a form field through an indirect reference. I have a filter guide that contain a loop to process a number of fields on the form. I am using this to detect which fields have been modified and to build a diary entry containing the changes. The field names of interest are stored in another form and I have been successful in fetching the names and building a qualification to detect the condition that I am interested in. I used the EXTERNAL function in the qualification of the filter to detect the conditions that I am interested in. This part works fine. The problem comes inside this filter. Now that I have determined that one of the fields of interest has been modified, I need to reference the current value of that field on the form. I want to reference the field value as part of a "Set Fields" action against the current transaction. The name of the field of interest is contained in another field on the same form... lets call it $field_name$. So the question is, how do I get the value of the field whose name is in the field $field_name$, as part of a "Set Fields" action in a filter? I do not see a way to use the EXTERNAL operator in this context. I have looked through all of the functions and processes and none of them appear to provide the functionality that I need. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this will be greatly appreciated. AR Server 5.1.2 patch 1313 Sybase DB Thanks. Larry
