Charlie,

Yes, 'value' is a reserved word. It's used in a lot of places in dBASE
as object property references (text.value) and parameters for SQL, which
is where it's a reserved word from. However, in the help file you'll
find plenty of references to it being used in command parameter aspects,
as the screenshot below shows.
