I agree with Jean, Lookup() doesn't move the record pointer. In fact I have used it in a sql statement to define a field using icase(). That may well be the way to accomplish what you are doing - or is the reason you need the case because you are involved in lots of inline code

Normally I would just make a UDF and locate and return the field value. I am wondering though if there is a simple way avoiding extra methods. Example Case GetVal(2) = 6 Function GetVal LParameters LookFor Select MyTable Locate for Field1 = LookFor Return Field2 Simplified but the idea is there. I'm wondering if the case can handle that in the line rather than the separate proggy. Sort of case select Field2 from MyTable where Field1 = 2 = 6 Al --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
