 >> Is there any method available to indirect address a databasefield,
meaning the name of the databasefield is stored in a variable.

Yes there is.  Rather than go into the details here I would suggest that
you check out the code that accompanies an article in this (December)
month's News/400.  There is a load-and-go program there that provides a
general purpose pop-up window that allows you to prompt for any field in
any file.  The techniques/APIs used should do the job for you.
