That should be:

note "its".
Incidentally, if I were writing this myself, I would dispense with the
individual variables and just use a record all the way through:
if its username is "wayne" then
set foundRecord to it
end
Then later:
tell foundRecord
... do stuff with "its username", "its emailadd", etc in here.
end tell
I think that's short enough without making a bunch of variables. But
that's just me. :)
Essentially this is what I'm doing now.. and ahh.. it's a long story..
The records and their values are used over and over, and there are
lots.. so what I actually want to do is change the structure of the
script (eventually) it's a big project and it's not all mine, so i
have to co-operate :)
When concating a string from values in these records, it gets messy,
which is why I make variables of them first, then deal with them..
Short version, after messing with it for a few days, I tend to agree
with what you are saying, it's actually cleaner dealing with the
records, and that's what I've settled on doing for now.
Thanks to everyone for the input..
