Thank you guys!
I had placed the itemdel 'tab' in quotes, that's why it didn't work. Sigh...
Works fine now.
And thanks for the great "quirky" suggestion. :)

Eva,

I just realized you posted on the metacard list. You might want to also check out the
LiveCode list also. It is the more recent version of the metacard list.

Here it is:

    Hi Eva,

    I'm not sure what you are having problems with, but if you want to
    get the items of a line, you need to set the itemdel to tab.

    set the itemDel to tab
    put item 2 of line 3 of myData into fld "Product"
