If you remember that the form scope is a structure, it is real easy.
Keeping that in mind,
evaluate("form.childoffer_" & i) [or even
evaluate("form.childoffer_#i#")]
becomes
structfind(form,"childoffer_#i#")
And if you take it to the next step, for other things, then instead of
an array of structures, you can use structures of structures.
So myarray[i].mystruct.key
becomes structfind(mystruct,"key_#i#)
I personally try to stay away from evaluate NOT ONLY because it looks
through the scope stack in the "preferred" order of lookup
(variables,form,url, etc) and does take an almost immeasurable longer
time to find the var that structfind does, BUT ALSO because it makes
it easier for someone else to read the code later..
