   Hello,   
      
   inside a Paradox 8 report I've created new calculated field, which shall   
   contain following formula:   
      
   0.8575 * sqrt((ansicode(string([STREETS.PQ1], 1, 1)) - ansicode("T"))^2) +   
   (value(string([STREETS.PQ1], 2, 2)) - value("06")) ^2 )   
      
   The story behind is: there exists a table (STREETS) with field "PQ1" (e.g.   
   for entries: T06, R10, ...). The field (type "A") has a length of 3   
   characters. Now I want to convert the text string into 2 values (see formula   
   above).   
      
   But Paradox doesn't accept the symbol ^ and neither "value". What can I use   
   instead?   
      
   Thanks in advance.   
      
   Frank
