Fred Have you tried using the ampersand instead of dot in front of varname
EDIT * FROM &varname Buddy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred C Kopp Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 12:12 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Using a variable table name with EDIT I do a CHOOSE varname FROM #TABLES and obtain a value for varname. But when I try to EDIT * FROM .varname I get -ERROR- Syntax is incorrect for the command EDIT (2045) If I do LIST .varname, that works and validates the variable. Tried quotes, parentheses, nothin' works. Probably something stupid but I don't get it. Fred Fred C.
