Subject applylocate not working From Charlie <tm@tc,com> <Charlie <tm@tc,com>> Date Fri, 07 Jun 2024 10:43:35 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started I thought this would be easy since I have done this before but the apply locate is never found.  tgrade is what i am trying to find.  actually it represents a field in the table.  so that isn't the problem (yet) because this never finds tid and cat which are also strings. i have tried this looking for bith variables and only one which certainly should have been found, but for some reason the applylocate doesn't work. Can anyone help? function COMBOBOX4_onChange()            co = form.coins1.rowset            tgrade = trim(form.combobox4.value)                 tid = trim(form.entryfield5.value)                 tcat= trim(form.combobox2.value)                 //co.applylocate("year= '" + tid + "'")// and category= '" + tcat + "'")                 co.applylocate( "year= '" + 'tid' + "' and category= '" + tcat + "'")                 form.entryfield1.value = val(co.fields["&tgrade."].value)                 //if found()                    msgbox( ""+found() )
