Re: Howto use fields "by name"

Antonio,

>nobody has even mentioned my original question, to either answer with a
>plain "NO, it can't be done", or else, "Yes... do this or that", or

Yes they did.  The very first answer by Charles said (in part):

 "Besides which, I'm pretty sure the answer to you question.  You can't update
a field given the fieldname stored in a variable (at least in RPG).  Look in
the archives and you should find some discussions along these lines."

This has been discussed numerous times in the archives, and the above is / was
the answer to your question.  The rest of the thread were suggestions on
alternatives.
