Trying to write an import script

[Keith Hamilton]

Hi Guys,

	I’m trying to write an import script to update selected fields and
records in a filePro file.  I have everything written but I can’t seem to
figure out how to have a variable for a field name.  The problem is on line
14 where I try to have it update a field number with a variable.  Please let
me know if this can be done or not.
