OK
I have a variable a = 1
I am typing a name from the keyboard

wait key
npk$ = inkey$()

I want cpn$(a) , a = 1 at this time, to be the first letter

I thought cpn$(a) = npk$ would work

It does not - keeps coming up as a type mismatch

my thought was to increase the vaule of a for each letter

say I typed in the name Mike

a = 1
cpn$(a) = "m" so cpn$(1) would be m
a = a + 1 a now = 2
cpn$(a) = "i" so cpn$(2) would be i
a = a + 1 a now = 3
cpn$(a) = "k" so cpn$(3) would be k

and so forth

even if I use

dim cpn$(15)

it still comes up a type mismatch

what format does DBPro want ???????????????
to do this

this works fine here, maybe some conflict in your code?



try that and it it does work then you may have some kind of code error you overlooked or something.

thanks for the tip Mentor
the repeat command seems to work

DBPro debug [F6] option does not work on my system
have to do it all on paper
makes for writing programs very looong
I must be missing something in my code somewhere

Thanks again
