concatenating with the ampersand

[john at debraneys.com]

Hi, 

I haven't read all the replies on this one but did notice in your script fragment

>> put quote & "lineNum"&"H"&quote into fldName -- creates a field 

that lineNum is quoted eg "lineNum". That will always put the literal string lineNum into the container rather than the value of lineNum. Just drop the quotes and the concatenation should work.

Regards

John T
