The filename refers to the stack file. A mainstack is a stack file, so te property is associated with the mainstack. A substack does not have its own stackfile per se, but rather inherits the filename from the mainstack. Inherited preoperties can be obtained using the "effective" qualifier. This works well for other inherited properties, such as textFont and other visual attributes. If a field has its textfont defined the "get the textfont" returns the font name; if not it returns empty. But since it effectively inherits the textfont of the next paren uo the chain that has that property defined, you can learn which font face it's drawn with by getting "the effective textfont". -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 2.0: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
