Graham, The best solution is to use the format: Use (cDataPath) Or if you must you can use Macro substitution:
Use "&cDatapath." However the Macro substitution is slower and more prone to generate coding errors by forgetting to terminate the variable (with a ".") which I ALWAYS make a point of doing even though sometimes it is NOT compulsory or necessary.
