Shouldn't this be something that's checked at run time rather than compile time? Also, I could swear I've seen runtime errors with constructs that like "control tVar" where tVar contains an abbreviated or long id/name, u.e. one that starts with a control tyype. Anyway, thanks for the solution Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.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
