sorry about the earlier false start to this question. Sometimes my fingers do Mac
when they should be doing Windows and I hit an unexpected shortcut. In this case,
apparently 'send'.
Anyway. My problem is that I have produced a little demo program for evaluation that
involves using an ask dialog to update a list of names. It is sat on a LAN for folks
to play with and say if they think it is useful andworks properly. I am sure it used
to work before I put it out for evaluatio. Now, when you hit the relevant button, the
ask dialog pops up but without displaying the specified prompt. The OK and cancel
buttons receive the focus and hilite appropriately, but don't do anything. If you
force the ask dialog to quit, the list has been updated with not the name typed in the
box (not surprisingly) but "ask plain" and a load of unrecognisable characters.
The script is as follows:
Global gnuname
ask "enter new name (firstname surname)"
if it is not empty
then
if field patients is empty then put it & tab & the abbreviated date into field
patients else put return & it & tab & the abbreviated date after field patients
put it into gnuname
send mouseup to button AZ
send mouseup to button "new record"
else
return empty
end if
Thanks in anticipation
