Hmmm. The "longest one" keeps changing, both in length and which actual field is the longest. I see that it works in principal, though, so thanks. Richard, I will never approach the 32K pixel limit. That is, with an ordinary lineHeight, over 2000 lines. But I take your point. I am old fashioned, and will script the action, which is smooth. Maybe with 50 fields it could be an issue, but that would require a very wide stack. Craig -----Original Message----- From: J.

Make the fields non-scrolling, group them, and set them all to the formattedheight of the longest one. (You may need to realign the tops.) Set the group to use a vertical scrollbar, and it will scroll all the fields automatically without any scripts. It's also a little smoother and more efficient than the scripted method. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
