Please Explain why this won't work
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 1:15 am
Hi,
In my app I have a dialog that has 10 "parts" listed on the screen.
Part1, Part2 .... Part10
I have a function that will work with these PART fields (using Tdatabase)
Function MyFunction( cNumber ) //cNumber can be from "1" to "10"
Local cTempPart
cTempPart := oPartsDBF:Part&cNumber //This works
oPartsDBF:Part&cNumber := cSomeText //This does not error but will return an empty string.
Return .t.
If I use an actual number ( oPartsDBF:Part1 := cSomeText ) it works.
Why can I use the &cNumber to store a value to cTempPart but can't do it the other way.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
