Albert,

Thanks, you are right, Amperstand does not work either

Just for kicks try using an ampersand on the vtabpage instead of a dot. 
Probably won't work any better, but you never know.

I'm guessing you might have to build a vCommand variable if it doesn't work 
that way?  You know:  SET VAR vCommand = ('GATEWAY IMPORT... SHEET_INDEX' & 
.vTabPage & '| COLUMN_COUNT.....), and then &vCommand

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Gateway Sheet Index
I am attempting to Import an Excel file with multiple sheets for each location. 
 I ask the user to select the location they want to import and using a lookup I 
load the variable VTabPage as an integer value with the Sheet Number

When I issue the command
GATEWAY IMPORT XLS .vfilename CREATE &vtablename OPTION SHEET_INDEX 
.vtabpage|COLUMN_COUNT 5|FIRST_ROW 12  It spins for 5 seconds but nothing 
happens.  If I issue the same command but put a number in the Sheet Index, it 
works (GATEWAY IMPORT XLS .vfilename CREATE &vtablename OPTION SHEET_INDEX 
5|COLUMN_COUNT 5|FIRST_ROW 12)

I am sure I am missing something here.. Blues Clues anyone ?

Thanks
