Jeff, This will never work. Just think, what does "junk.junkpath.value" or "junkpath.value" which I assume you meant, evaluate to? You need to do either an implicit eval() or macro substitution.
Either: junkpath = "d:\work\catholicschoolgirlinkjet_sample.ctl" APPEND MEMO junk.junkmemo from (junkpath) Or: junkpath = "d:\work\catholicschoolgirlinkjet_sample.ctl" APPEND MEMO junk.junkmemo from &junkpath.

If I manually code in the path, I have no problems appending the file to the memo 'field' but if I pull the path from the table, I get "File does not exist" *!* junkpath = d:\work\catholicschoolgirlinkjet_sample.ctl APPEND MEMO junk.junkmemo FROM junk.junkpath.value doesn't work but this does: APPEND MEMO junk.junkmemo from d:\work\catholicschoolgirlinkjet_sample.ctl does I tried dumping the value of 'field' into a variable, trimming up the variable, trimming the data in the 'field',... Any suggestions?
