I understand that very well :-)

Merci beaucoup Éric pour votre réponse.
Don't apologize ! First, I did not waste time ! Thanks to one of your  
previous replies (with the "do"  solution :-)), I immediately thought  
to the possibility of the long name being put instead of content. So  
I immediately tried <fld "TheTable"> instead of the long name.
And secondly, remember that I am retired ; I am not in a hurry ;-))

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse :-))

With "the long name of ", <put the text of pFld into tTable> works  
perfectly.
