Hi All

I am writing a global procedure to format Name & Address data (get rid of
empty lines etc)
I have this information in a number of different datafiles (identical format
obviously) so the plan was that I would call the procedure sending 2 parameters,
"p_Filename" and "p_RecordISN"

Hfilter, HreadFirst and HReadNext all accept the p_Filename parameter and
return the correct record(s)
The problem arises if I try to use the data
sTextString = p_Filename.Address1 for example results in an error regarding
the .
I have tried various combinations of "" without success

Substituting the p_Filename for the actual filename to populate sTextString
works as expected

Any ideas - or better still a solution

Regards

DT

Here you are with one of my favourite Windev possibilities
(apart from things like dynamic compilation) : 'Indirection'
Look for it in the help ...

example:
-------------------------
sTextString = {p_Filename+".Address1"} //or something
