Hi!

In my program, I don't know the name of the field I want to modify, but I
know it's number. I want to do this:

FieldNo=2
REPL field(FieldNo) with field(FieldNo)+10

but of course it returns a syntax error, because field(FieldNo) returns the
field name, not the contents.

Please - does anyone know a way around this? Any ideas much appreciated!!

Try this:

cFld = Field(FieldNo)
Replace &cFld with Eval(cFld) + 10

My real address is alan at sprint dot ca
(with a 'p' on 'alan' making it 'alanp',
and no spaces). I'm sick of email spam.

minutly faster would be (and slightly more readable):

lcFieldName=field(FieldNo)
repl (lcFieldName) with eval(lcFieldName)+10

Thanks guys!
