I think you are wanting to play the animation and end up with a mp4 movie, I think you need one of Monte's externals for this. On the other hand, if you only want to generate the movie in the dev environment, you could play it in livecode and use a screen capture program to capture the video. G

If you are specifying a literal value with LIKE, then you need the single quotes or you will get an error. If you are using a parameter variable containing the literal, then no single quotes needed. Including the :1 in quotes makes the query look for a string containing :1, not the contents of th

The reason for using parameterized queries instead of either merging or appending is because of SQL injection. On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 10:18 AM, PystCat wrote: > Why not just use merge...? > > Put "John" into tVal > Put merge("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE(bar LIKE %[[tVal]])") into pSQL > OR > put me
