strstring = left({ODLN.Address}, intPos - 1)
Dim intPos As Integer;

What does the error message say?

Error in formula Do you want to save anyway? I answer yes then refresh... says....... remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula

I This is the file I am using. Found it has address, city state and country in one file, seperated by one or more sets of Od/Oa. I am trying to find the end of the first field then I will find the beginning of the second field etc
The code I sent was only the first part where I got the error

Can you try commenting out everything else in the formula except what you sent us? And then try saving it. The problem sounds like its from another part of the formula...

I think the difference is it was set for Crystal syntax vs Bsic syntax; in either case I go no results
Well if you switch to crystal syntax and use:
local Numbervar intPos;
local Stringvar strString;
intPos = InStr({ODLN.Address},Chr(1
strstring = left({ODLN.Address}, intPos - 1);
it should work?!
local Numbervar intPos;
local Stringvar strString;
intPos = InStr({ODLN.Address},Chr(1
strstring = left({ODLN.Address}, intPos - 1);
it should work?!
Crystal syntax uses := for assignment and = for comparison.
Change the = to a :=
local Numbervar intPos;
local Stringvar strString;
intPos := InStr({ODLN.Address},Chr(1
strstring := left({ODLN.Address}, intPos - 1);

Sorry, it don't....... The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula....same error as original same results.
In basic syntax there are no ; at the end of lines. Your declarations have ;'s

What is highlighted when you get the error?

The difference in the two error messages was a result of one being in Basic Syntax mode and the other message being in Crystal Syntax mode. When I run this in Crystal Syntax mode I get the same original message, if I change to run in basic mode it will get the other error I sent.
