I'm open to alternative method suggestions. I'd be looking to try and map the fieldnames to something more acceptable, perhaps switch that # for an underscore, or _h_. I used to specialise in DB development and have yet to see a schema with field names with a hash in them (not that that's your fault - it's just your problem). Depending on the DB, it might be possible to define a 1:1 view that could map the field names. Paul

It's actually a Sage Line 100 database if that means anything to you. Sage have now uses SQL Server 2005 i believe, but this old proprietary format that I have to work with doesn't allow for anything 'creative'. Looks like I'm hosed, unless one of you clever people can think of a way around it.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Eeeeek! Development grinds to a halt due to stupid syntax problem
Multiple people have already said this on both of the threads you posted with the same question: use square brackets to reference your properties. Try: selectedItem[ADDRESS_LINE#2] And if that doesn't work tell us that it doesn't and what happens if you try.

If it were me, I'd just change the name of the field in the SQL select statement, like: select [ADDRESS_LINE#2] as addr2, - . . from. Then use addr2 in your app. _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of candysmate Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 12:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Ek!

This should work if your data objects are type object or are dynamic (?) var selectedGrowerAddress2:String = StringUtil.trim(String (event.currentTarget.growerSearchGrid.selectedItem[ADDRESS_LINE#2])); That worked Stephen. MANY thanks for your reply. I'd never have figured that on my own. No sleep for me tonight as I have to catch up. :( Thanks again.
