rs! question

Why can't I write to a field name 2ndItemNumber with

rs!2ndItemNumbe r = st2nd. When I type that in I get a message expected end
of statement and "ndItemNumb er" is highlighted. I know it has something to
do with the 2 but I can't figure out how to get around it.

Yeah, you can't start a field with a number sign and reference it without
special treatment.

A fix would be to bracket the field, as in: rs![2ndItemNumber] = st2nd

Hope this helps,

Or,

rs("2ndItemNumb er") = st2nd
