IB_query1['field_name'] should do the trick to access
the field value if you know the field/column name....
BTW...get useed to it....forget fields (from tables..)..
welcome coluumns (from queries..).
I don't think that accessing a column value based on the position is a very
good ideea....
Good luck and MAY THE CODE BE WITH YOU
(and your hair : )
