Okay I am a newbie to Revolution. I have used Hypercard for decades and
find the Revolution view of backgrounds and groups a bit confusing.
In Hypercard I was used to being able to manipulate backgrounds at will and
have it applied to all other cards automatically. In Revolution I find that
Dear Jerry,
I was just about to post this exact question myself, so I would be grateful
if you could let me know of any solution you find on this! I've used Import

any case it doesn't seem to transport across platforms,
Nate,
I also started with HyperCard. I also found the differences between Rev and
HC
to be an annoyance until I got more accustomed to the differences. Rev is
definitely more powerful and versatile.
The easiest way to simulate HC backgrounds is to start with a clean new
stack.

Hello all,
I've been here some while, bit mainly working with MetaCard, so thats why
you didn't hear very much from me...
My question: Did anyone succeed making an ODBC connection with an Excel
sheet? I configured the control panel ODBC 32-bin (Win98) for a System-DSN
using the Excel driver...
Hey up Sjoerd,
Nice to hear from you on the Rev list. Not sure if this is of any help to
your problem, but take a look at:

It may provide a different perspective on the issue.

After looking around in the documentation, I haven't been able to
find a simple function to determine the number of keys for a given
array dimension. Do I need to parse the output of the keys function
for this, or have I overlooked something in the documentation?
I was hoping the number
Hi Brad,
I looked into this a while ago. My solution was:
1) If the second dimension is fixed (always NN
elements), you can suffice by saying:
put (the number of lines of the keys of tArray / NN)
2) If however NN is variable, you can get it with the
following trick:
put the keys of tArray
Hi Brad,
If I remember correctly from my Linear Algebra
classes, in order to multiply two arrays, their
dimensions have to be such that the first dimension of
the second array equals the second dimension of the
first array, so they should be of the sort:
Array1 [m x n] and Array2 [n x p]

See the extents function.
My apologies, Brad. I only realised afterwards that my
answer was off by the length of a small
football-field.
Richard is right: have a look at the extents function.
My solution does work for determining the number of
lines if the keys for the columns are non-numeric.
