Klaus, I left out this bit code: (put arrayDecode(tPrefs)into tPrefs) So, my code looks like this:
IF the platform is "MacOS" then if there is a file (specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "mileage_prefs") then put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" & "mileage_prefs") into tPref put arrayDecode(tPrefs)into tPrefs put tPrefs["name"] into field "name" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" put tPrefs["name"] into field "name" of card "one" of stack "mileage report" end if end if IF the platform is "win32" then if there is a file (specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "mileage_prefs") then put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "mileage_prefs") into tPrefs put arrayDecode(tPrefs) into tPrefs -- now fill in all my data... put tPrefs["name"] into field "name" of card id 1002 of stack "prefs" end if end if Charles Szasz csz...@mac.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
