But I believe I misstated the problem. I should have said,The fields __CNAME1, __PCT1, __CNAME2, ___PCT2, ... up through __CNAME10 and __PCT10, have been set up via a form on the same page.I am trying to implement an array of text variables. I have been able to confirm that these variables are already created and initialized. Now I want to access the contents of these array variables for use in a REPLACE.My idea was to construct, for example, the string __CNAME3 by writing __CNAME[LOOPNUM]where LOOPNUM happens to be, say, 3. This seems to work.Then I proceed to put the above into an enclosing set of square brackets, as follows [__CNAME[LOOPNUM]]which I think should be equivalent to [__CNAME3]hoping thereby to retrieve the contents of the variable called __CNAME3This works sometimes but not always! My method assumes that the results of a substitution are then rescanned for more possible substitutions. Is this true?Now that I've stated the problem better,1. What is the RIGHT way (if any) to construct and use an array of text variables? 2. If I've got the right general idea, what am I doing wrong?I apologize for not stating the problem more clearly in my first post.Thank you.Ralph Dratman------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
