Field doesn't exist

[gef]

So I followed your idea and in order no make sure there is no global,  
fileglobal problem I made the script really simple :

openfile "donation"
   openform  "donation list"

             select donorID =  101441

And still give me the field or variable does not exist

I am a bit confuse now. I know it's beginner stuff but I can't see  
what I can do to fix it.
