Hi Ian
My memory is a little foggy on this one, but I ran into something similar a
few months back when I was trying to display information from a sequel
database in an HTML text member. If memory serves me right, you will find
that the first line is a real line (the empty space that the table puts into
the member at the start of a table). Then for each cell of the table, it
should generate approximately 1 line per cell therefore if you have an html
member then line 1 is the first line or empty space, line 2 is row 1, cell1,
line 3 is row1 cell 2 and so forth repeating with each row in the table.
Just screwy enough to drive a person to drinking when you try to figure it
all out and even then there is no guarantee that it will hold true. Once you
get out of the table, the line number seems to work again. Now one other
thing to consider, is that if you choose a spot that is close to the end of
the text of the line (or just after it) then it will go to the next line.
Similar to the way a return at the end of a text line is really the first
character of the next line and so forth. I wish you good luck on figuring
that thing out... I wasted a lot of time trying to nail it down.. I just
can't remember if I ever got it working reliably or just finally abandoned
it.. the project eventually got abandoned anyhow.
Sincerely
Mark R. Jonkman
