JB, Thanks for the comment. Yes, I went back to my previous use of “_” in the file name. All is working now. It was the difference between “l” and “L” in a file name. Sheesh! Bill William Prothero https://earthlearningsolutions.org > On Jun 25, 2020, at 2:27 PM, JB via use-livecode > wrote:

Zryp, Crap, accidentally sent the response without finishing. I was checking that the code in my test button was actually talking to the datagrid in question, and it returned the correct values, so I assumed it was. I don’t understand how “myBtn” would participate. I need to change colors from

Zryp, What I wanted to do is make a distinction between data that was retrieved from a database and data that was entered but not yet stored. A datagrid is. Way overkill for what I’m doing, but the button that accesses the datagrid data to get the specific line is for testing only.

Graham, My demo stack was enhanced a lot by Hermann but I don’t know where it is, after a cursory search. He added a bunch of other capabilities, but I felt a quick look at the Google map docs would make it easy to add them. His expanded version may be in the examples repository. I didn’t check

Graham, You may be able to find a used Mac that will run Catalina. My old MacBook Pro was one of the earliest that had 64 bit processor, but when it’s battery started interfering with the trackpad, I panicked and bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I took my old MacBook Pro to be fixed and it

Graham, Mark’s comments make sense. Your quality test where you set the phone down in a fixed location and look at the results seems good also. If it can’t pass that test, nothing else will work. Best, Bill William Prothero https://earthlearningsolutions.org > On May 6, 2020, at 7:52 AM, Mark
