Thank's Richard, you are right: it's not such a big deal - I was just surprised that I can't integrate constants as variables. A question - since english is not my first language - what do you mean with >It's not all that common to bury constants in strings Is something bad about it? I would e. g. define our name with the formatting tags as a constant or parts of query clauses which will never change but are often used. Greetings, Uwe
