Trigger Compile Error

I am declaring a String variable = to an existing Case field of Text data type in a Trigger. Why am I getting this Compile Error? 

 

"Illegal assignment from Schema.SObjectField to String"

JonPJonP

Post your code.  You are probably referring to the Field on the abstract Schema Object:

 

 

String s = Account.Name;
 
...rather than to the value of a field on an instance of the object:
 
 
Account a = [SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Foo' LIMIT 1];
String s = a.Name;

Yes, I have the same error I have this code
 
Account a = [SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Foo' LIMIT 1];
String s = a.Name;// I can save it, but when I run the application I get another error.
String c = Account.Name;//second option I get the below error.


 
 
With the second option I got the error " Illegal assignment from Schema.SObjectField to String"...
 
Please help me.
