Folks:
Thanks for the info. This should reduce some frustration. I can use the object
inspector to find the kind of object the item is, then list all of its
properties so that I am clued in on what words to search for in the dictionary.
That is a big help.
Thanks

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've done that. Another thing I do

Thanks Paul, light bulb duly switched on !! I thought Jacque was referring to
the left-hand Keyword column, duh :-P
Happy Thanksgiving BTW :-)

Ah. That would explain my last post. I do know that there are lots of

Look at the far left column, the top most word in this column is "All", go down
to the "Object" section and click on one object, say "Field" or "Button" then

They say you learn something new every day Jacque, and in my case/age I think
that is because I forget something also!! The list is a great place to get
brain cells talking to each other again, and many thanks for your frequent
contributions.

The dictionary entry for Properties does need revising, but it is correct
insofar as you get an array not a list. I think this does what you

"the properties of xyz" will return an ARRAY, that's why :-)
