Re: Indirect reference

Thank you everyone. These all do what I was after. I think I used to do it using the field property as Geoff suggested. Funny how I just blanked out about it this time. I'm going to write myself a note about it in case I forget again. Now if I can just remember where I put that note... -Howard __

Re: Indirect reference

If your variable did not contain the word "field", you could do: put "10:00 AM" into field tfield or leave the variable as it is and: put "10:00 AM" into field (word 2 to -1 of tfield) Pete Molly's Revenge On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 9:39 PM, Howard Bornstein wro

Re: Indirect reference

You can't use put "something" into myVariable but as Andrew says you can make it work with a "do" statement. As long as the variable contains a valid object reference, you can set properties on the variable, so this will work also: *put* "field" && quote & "test" & quote into x *set*

Re: Indirect reference

There are other ways to accomplish what you need, but here is what you are looking for. do "put" && theTime && "into" && tField this would execute --> put "what was in theTime" into "what was in tField" http://docs.runrev.com/Command/do -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolutio

Indirect reference

I know I've done this before but I can't seem to remember how at this point. I want to make an indirect reference through a variable. For example, I have a variable, tField, that contains this string: field "Time" of card 1 I want to put something into field "Time" via this variable. So I want to

Hi Jim, yes, you can, but it is sort of a hack. You will need to handle the suspendStack message at stack script level: on suspendStack if "answer dialog" is among the lines of the openStacks then set the topLeft of stack "answer dialog" to 0,0 end if end suspendStack Please keep in
