You know I tried that. But didn't use quotes. So I assume when referring to
objects on cards you have to use quotes?
Literals are always quoted, so this:
field "myField"
means a field whose name is the literal string "myField". If the quotes
are omitted, the engine will try to find a variable named myField.
Sometimes the engine is smart enough to realize that if there is no
variable with that name, there may be a field with that name which the
script has neglected to quote. In that case, the string may resolve
correctly to the field name -- but you can't count on it. And if literal
names are not quoted, the engine takes twice as long to execute the
statement because of the additional lookup.
Whether or not the engine can resolve an unquoted literal depends
somewhat on the position of the string in the command line. It gets
complicated, so the best rule of thumb is: don't quote variables, always
quote literal strings.
