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
Please Explain why this won't work

Jeff,
Better use the __ObjSendMsg() function:
Instead of cTempPart := oPartsDBF:Part&cNumber:
cTempPart := __ObjSendMsg( oPartsDBF, "Part" + cNumber )
and instead of oPartsDBF:Part&cNumber := cSomeText:
__ObjSendMsg( oPartsDBF, "_Part" + cNumber, cSomeText )
Notice the use of "_" before "Part" when assigning.
