Alias Name in Property

[MarvinR]

How can I access a field in a DBF when the alias name is stored in a object's property ?

For exemple:
oo.aliasname = 'INVOICE_2001'

I want to access the CUST_ID of this DBF, but obviously I can't use

oo.aliasname.cust_id

What way I can use so I don't need to do too much "&" substitution ?

This works for me:

SELECT (thisform.tablename)
replace (thisform.tablename)+".fieldname" WITH "Mike"

Hi

Mike's code will work.

This will also work..
cCustId = EVAL(oo.aliasname+".cust_id&quot

OR

oAlias = oo.aliasname
cCustId = &oAlias..cust_id
cCustName = &oAlias..cust_name


This will not work.. &oo.aliasname..cust_id
