Hello, I've had this situation before and had it again today, which cost me a couple of hours.
I dragged a new scrolling field onto my stack and named it "myInput". I hit Ctrl C and Ctrl V to copy it. I dragged the new field to a new position and named it "myOutput". Somehow (I'm not sure how) I ended up with 2 fields named "myInput" one right over the top of the other one. Then I put some text into the top myInput (not realizing there was a bottom one) and tried to do some stuff. What was happening, is that LC was looking at the bottom (1st) field "myInput" and there was no text in that one. So, of course, I got very strange behavior and used up a good portion of my rock collection. Here is what I wish for: (and I do not know how to officially make the request, and this is where someone can help) If I am so "ignorant" or "unattentive" ? to make such a blunder, it would be really wonderful for LC to pop up a warning saying something like, "Hey Larry! Wake Up! You already have a field named "myInput"!!!" Know what I mean? Thanks, Larry _______________________________________________ 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
