Aaron - Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I am still getting an error.
I did do a cfa_dump previously and Category is one of the sections that
appeared. So I tried putting the following line in my code:
<p><font face="Arial" color="#headlinecolor#">
<h2>#r_stObjects[listfirst(structkeylist(r_stObjects))].Category# </h2></font></p>
And I got the following error message:
Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
#r_stObjects[listfirst(structkeylist(r_stObjects))].Category#
Error near line 66, column 102.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
The member "" in dimension 1 of object "r_stObjects" cannot be found.
Please, modify the member name.
The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of
(#r_stObjects[listfirst(structkeylist(r_stObjects))].Category#), occupying
document position (66:51) to (66:111).
I was a little confused by "member "" " in the error message, indicating to me there
was an empty space found. This prompted me to test using the StructISEmpty function.
The r_stObjects should be a structure, correct? Well, I ran the code and it behaved
like the structure is empty.
Let me know if you know what the problem is. Thanks.
Laura
