Hi Jacque, Yes, definitely abbrev name as in field "myField". However, there's no way for the compile process to know the contents of pitemname at runtime so I don't think that's what is causing the error. As mentioned, adding the word "control" before pitemname makes everything work but also causes me more consternation since - control field "myField" - is not a valid expression, at least I don't think it is.
This is all on 5.5.4 by the way Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 12:49 PM, J.

Pete, can you clarify?
