Hi Scott,
You may try Do Case statements as follows:
Dim city, msg As String
Do Case city
Case toronto
save copy C:\Toronto.tab as E:temp\toronto.tab
Case Chicago
save copy C:\Toronto.tab as E:temp\Chicago.tab
Case xyz
save copy C:\xyz.tab as E:temp\xyz.tab
Case Else
msg = "city is not in the database?"
End Case
