Hi Paul --
I, too, have been limping along with a revNavigator that I can't stop using
but which has fallen behind the dev environment in a few areas. I should
really talk to the developer and convince him to update that thing...

A bit more on this problem...
When I run an "import snapshot..." script from a button placed in a stack,
the script works as expected. When I run the script from the message box,
LC generates an error.
Anybody else see this?

Yes - it fails from the message box here, but works if I put it into a
button script.

Thanks to Jacque's suggestions, I was able to construct a stack that lets you
display a random page from the Dictionary.
I just uploaded it to RevOnline as "Dictionary Random Picks."
It is a simple stack but there is always room for improvement.
Please let me have your thoughts for any changes.
I know it's a vent/rant, and while LC is completely awesome in -many- I have
to completely agree with this... I don't know how many times I've been

Hi David,
Recently, in other messages, you mentioned
saving stacks as xml and using "git", the
distributed revision control system.
Now, this thread is about data type checking.
Are you developing stacks as xml text files
and using Livecode scripts to convert them
in binary stacks?

Fellow Programmers,
For many years I've used the revNavigator plugin to layer objects -
to move objects to any layer, into and out of groups, from one group
to another, etc.
Somewhere around Rev 3.5 the revNavigator broke. Dragging objects in
the list would only put bookmarks at the top of

Thanks all... I was getting desperate, but I think Richard's way will work...
Will give it a try later this evening :-)
But also Scott's solution, using a second app has some possibilities. Will take

Thanks Andre. However, the size of these fields is not that great - probably
less than 1K - and in our test database it's just a few bytes.

Ben,
I have no clue whatsoever what ntext fields are but you could try a
combination of the following stuff:
You can try executing this Transact-SQL piece on a query to the server:
SET TEXTSIZE 64512
This will change the amount of text returned by a SELECT into a ntext
or nvarchar field.
