Long variable issue

[Nancy Palmquist]

Richard,

Before you blame the long variable name, I suggest

msgbox getenv("UserName")

To make sure UserName has a value in the environment and the value you 
expect.

Next try a different long variable word.  Sometimes that makes a 
difference and you have maybe some kind of conflict with that long 
variable word.

I have done this many times and it always works for me.

Nancy

Could I be passing this limit as there are a lot of declared values in the original processing table as well as the called table.  The called table is in a different folder(directory) then the original processing. Is the total of the variable a combination of both tables?
