A couple of thoughts on this
You could use AFIELDS to check if "Varname" is a field in the
currently selected table. Then again it could be a field in another
table open in a different work area.
IWHT that if you name memvars systematically (eg Hungarian) you could
check the first two (or three) letters of the varname to see if it
begins with lc, gn etc. But then you'd still have to make sure that
none of your field names begin with these letters
Another possibility (depending on exactly what you are doing and how
you are going about it) would be to make sure that if it is a field
that it is prefixed by the alias. Then you could check if the period
(.) is part of the varname. If so its a field, if not its a memvar
(unless you use m.varname of course)
