Cheers guys , The loop routine works great !
In future will look at the background option.

At this point, the group is only 'placed' on card 1. Select the group and use the inspector to "Behave like a background" Next, go to card 2, then the menu "Object:Place Group" and now it appears on card 1 & 2, plus will automatically appear on any new cards then select the original field "Version" and delete it. You will not need it anymore. Once you have done this for all cards (either manually or by scripted repeat loop) you can select "Share Text" and all cards will show the same text, whether it is a version number or a list of data, etc. -------------------- If you decide not to use a background group, you will need to write a repeat loop to update all of the individual fields. Also, you will have to remember to add this field to any new cards you make and put in the correct version number. In the long run it is easier to use background-group objects when developing stacks On Feb 27, 2010, at 11:00 AM, Camm wrote: > Its just a different fld id on each card > > Thanks > Camm > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Ault > Sent: 27 February 2010 15:58 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: All Cards > > Question 1 > is the field in a group, or just a different fld ID on each card? > > Question 2 > if the field is in a group, is the group set to 'behave as a > background'? > > Question 3 > If the answer to question 2 is yes, then > Does turning on the check box "Share Text" do what you want? > > > On Feb 27, 2010, at 7:37 AM, Camm wrote: > >> I have a fld in each card called "Version" >> >> I wish to put "Version 1.x.x" into fld "Version" of each card in the >> stack >> >> Can it be done with one line ? or am I missing something simple ? >> > Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution No virus found in this incoming message.
