Yes. Don't use table fields. They are not real tables, but only a way to get a text field to kind of act like it wants to be a table when it grows up.

There are some quite usable solutions people have developed using scripts to get a series of fields to look and act like a real table, but the issue is always going to be large data sets. If it's just a few columns of a few hundred rows of data you are probably going to be fine. If it's 50 columns of 35,000 rows yer gonna weep.

One of the huge (IMHO) feature requests for Revolution is a real table object that acts like a basic spreadsheet or database table. For some reason this has been set aside as not very important. But I would pay good money for a Revolution update that had real table objects complete with scripting commands for manipulating rows and columns of data. I am not asking for a built in spreadsheet. I just want to be able to tab between cells, select rows and columns, and detect when and where in the table cells someone has clicked.

Hello everyone,

I have a table field on a card, and if I click a row, it hilites.
Then, if I use the up and down arrow keys, it changes the hilited
row. HOWEVER, if I TAB into the field, it gains the focus, but the
arrow keys no longer work.

Any ideas why, or how to work around this?

Thanks,

Jim McNeely
