Hi Jacques,

This has nothing to do with the debugger. The syntax

  put field theField into thevar

is incorrect and should be

  put the text of theField into thevar

Best regards,

Hello,
I was away from Revolution for a while (to many other things to do) but now I'm just retired (yes!!!) and at least I have time to work a bit more on some applications I planned to do... and I discovered a strange thing with the new debugger. Forgive me if it is known already (but in this case answer nevertheless directly, many thank, I was unable to find something about this problem on the list). I have a stack's custom property called CurrentField, containing the short name of a field. In the stack script I have something like:

put the currentField of me into theField
put word 2 of theField into numvar
-- here some stuff with numvar
put field theField into thevar
-- here some stuff with the content of the field (thevar)

Well. If I put a breakpoint on the last line of this script, everything is OK, numvar and thevar both contain what I want. BUT if I put my breakpoint on the first line, and progress step by step, I get an error "chunk: no such object" at the "put field theField" line. If I change my mind and put the long name of the field in the currentfield, everything is OK, but it is just boring and more heavy to parse to get my information back. The same problem seems to occur with any objects designed by their short name. The defaultStack is the good one (mine). I got this problem with Revolution 3 on a Mac Intel with OS X 10.5.5 I think it's not a fair behaviour for a debugger, but perhaps it is not orthodoxal to invoke objects by their short name...

Thank you for advice

Jacques
