Thanks this helps a little but it still ain't happening for me, what ever method I've tried I still do not get access to the content of my existing global variable containing my list to work thru. I'd show files but they are way too big.
I'm sure it's probably something I'm doing or not explaining right and I'm working my way thru the excellent suggestions and trying modified versions to get it working. I'll post any progress or questions as they come up, I think I'm in for a long night. Thanks all again!

You can do that with symbols. I did a quick test with strings but didn´t worked. Try this: on setGlobal stdnum variableSymbol = symbol("gStandard"&stdnum&"DataRef") setAprop (the globals), variableSymbol, "Hello World" end on LoadDataSet stdnum variableSymbol = symbol("gStandard"&stdnum&"DataRef") globalValue = getProp ((the globals), variableSymbol) end Cheers! -- Agustín María Rodríguez | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.OnWine.com.ar [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
