Setting variables whose names are construct dynamically requires using "do". So this should work:
put "Field" & i into tFieldName put "put fld tFieldName of grp AllFields into tVar" & i into tCommand do tCommand Probably an easier solution is to use an array: put fld "Field" & i of grp "AllFields" into tVar[i] Cheers, Sarah Sent from my iPad On 10/07/2010, at 9:23 AM, "David C." <davidoco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Good grief!
