Panos' test and Mark's insight have me on the right path. I am not using "numberFormat" anywhere, but I am setting the value of gTSsettings["teamcount] from a mouseup script on a scrollbar. Since my scrollbar output is apparently coming out as a floating point value, I need to add rounding to

No, strict compilation is off. Variable preservation is on. So are LC 7 and 8 the same in terms of how variables are declared and accessed? That's been my assumption. Tom -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html

Nope, not it. The global is declared at the top of a group script containing numerous handlers that use that and other global vars. (Unless there was a change from LC 7 to LC 8 that requires declaration of variables in each handler? I am porting a LC 7 project into LC 8.) Tom -- Sent from:

Hi Roland. The "~" file is the original (uncorrupted, unsaved) version of your stack before LC executed your Save cmd. If you remove the "~" from the filename, you'll probably find you can open that. LC creates the "~" file at the start of the save operation and, if all goes well, removes that
