I've had this situation several times years ago. What I got in the habit of doing was using a leading zero in my text fields so I would have values that looked like this:
01
02
03
04
05
06
07
08
09
10
11
12
13...
That's if I wished to keep the values as text. Otherwise, just use the val()...
I need to mark the first 3 records in a field called TARGET when the field called MAILCODE contains "123ABC"
Then repeat the process for each value in the MAILCODE field.

Hey there, I had this problem in the past. What I was doing was creating a "Character Type" variable in the form. I created it so I could enter in a masked value ("999,999.99"). When I tried to set the valued of the field in my table to the value in the table, it errored out.

I have a client with proprietary software that requires dBase 5 files. I need to export a file in DBF format that is compatible with their system. I don't know what's different about the files but they have to be dBase 5 format.
I would have loved to say all fixed. But while it did run correctly, the result was still the same even after the changes you sent.
Please let me know if you have any other ideas. (I'm willing to send all I have on this if it would help)
