Hi Joe,
Are you using "1", "2" etc. as field names? That's wrong. Revolution
parses these names as numbers, regardless of the quotes. You must add
some characters to make sure that Revolution parses the name as a
string, e.g. "Val 1", "Val 2", etc.
You can refer to these fields in a repeat loop or other script like
this:
repeat with x = 3 to 7
add fld ("Val" && x) to myTotal
end repeat
-- do something with myTotal here
I think that saying "I shouldn't have to" is a little inappropriate in
this particular case, even though it might apply to many other
workarounds.

Attention:
I'm doing some math on a form. Carefully, I thought, I numbered the
various flds so that I could refer to them in sequence or, at least,
know what their names are by their positions without having to
constantly check them out. However, when it came time to refer to
them I was a bit mistaken. It seems that a field fld "1" does not
return the value that is in that field; it returns the value that is
in a totally different field, but the one that is "1" by layering.
It was the first field I created. It does the same with fld "2";
refers to the second field I created and one that is "2" by
layering; not by name. To me this is a bug. Correct?
I can diddle around and make this work, but I shouldn't have to.
When I refer to an object by its name I should get the contents of
that object.
TIA,
Joe Wilkins
