     I've got a little problem with some MB code. Can someone tell me why I get
a run time error (cannot convert the data) at this line (denoted with the $$)?
Note that szColumn2Calc is a string expression of a column name.

I know the problem is with the Objects Intersect command. In that command
following the Data clause, how do you refer to a column with a variable
expression?

dim szColumn2Calc as string
dim VX as alias
     Select * from Zip_Demos
     Set target on
     Select * from oNewBufferTable where rowid = 1
VX = "zip_demos."+szColumn2Calc    '$$     <-------------------This line.
     Objects Intersect into Target
     Data vx = Proportion(VX)

     Commit Table Zip_Demos
     Pack Table Zip_Demos Graphic Data

Thanks,
