There is a custom property (call it theProp) with a value like "SELECT foo FROM " & tableName & " WHERE (bar > 7) AND (animal<>'cat');" So those quotes and & are in the string to be evaluated. My understanding of parsing is that the first piece should evaluate to SELECT foo FROM the second to SELECT foo FROM and the third to WHERE (bar > 7) AND (animal<>'cat'); and when concatenated produce a string of SELECT foo FROM theRealTableName WHERE (bar > 7) AND (animal<>'cat'); That is, I should get three strings, the first and last literals, and the middle from evaluation of the variable name, which in turn should concatenate by the &. Instead, though, the quotation marks in the third string are ignored, and instead of treating it as as string literal, an attempt is made to evaluate it. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
