Dave, Brenda's approach is basically how I'd handle it. I encourage you to stepp through the execution with the debugger, RAID.
That might make more clear what's happening, than any number of prose responses on-list. cds -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave R Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 2:47 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] OPEN FILENAME TO F.FILENAME ELSE STOP problem in a loop. I am trying to open a group of files from a list of files in the table file. Does anyone know how to make the constant in the open file statement work. I get the good old IMPROPER DATA TYPE error message when I try to read the file I opened with the code. In the mean time I will open each file separately . Thanks Dave.
