Hi problem solved: I used <<lastname>> instead of $lastname$ in the newtiddler widget, and instead of using "set" in the second example, I included the table in a macro function.
Anyway, I now have another minor problem: when using the edit-text widget, I've got it to create a temp file, and then create the real tiddler from the temp. But I would like to clear/delete the temp file as soon as the real tiddler is created. At the moment the temp file contains info from the last entry. Thanks.
