I dig into genealogy quite a lot, and have many stacks containing multiple cards. My biggest stack does distance calculation between cities in the world, and has 5000 cards, one for each city. I certainly could merge all the data into one field and gain some execution time, but it works fine like it is. As I write songs, I also have built a song catalogue containing lyrics, MP3 files and video clips, and even Sacem data, Royalties, etc. for nearly 1000 songs, written withmy composer colleague. I reckon I create a multiple card stack about once a week, sometimes used once only, for selecting, modifying and merging data from the internet sites. Any excuse is good for spending a day or so in building a stack and furiously scripting, mostly for pleasure, just to produce a list of compiled data from many sources.I even have model stacks and a graveyard of scripts which I use to build multiple card stacks in record time. I never got around to using arrays, or any method fur putting data into more compact forms on single cards. Too lazy to learn, I guess ! -Francis _______________________________________________ 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
