Untested - so try this on a backup. script a loop in another button that does something like this:
repeat the number of controls in grp ID 1241 times
select control 1 of grp ID 1241
cut
start editing grp "Base controls"
paste
stop editing grp "Base controls"
end repeatCheers, Sarah

I seem to have gotten myself in a fix I can't find a way out of:
Make a group... lots of controls, name it "base controls"
Fumble a bit with mis-selections and click the "Group" icon on the menu bar inadvertently, maybe twice, and now have in the Application Browser (where the following GRP represents the group Icon)
GRP: Base controls GRP: group id 1239 GRP: group ID 1240 GRP: group ID 1241 field FirstName Field Last Name btn: "Listing" etc. (some 40+ more controls)
Now, these controls were originally in the group "Base Controls" and now they have mysteriously moved to an "interior group" with no name, Since there a lot of data already entered, deleting groups is not an option... i can click on the group and edit it.. "(Base Controls is selected first) click again and get the next group, click again, get the next group, then click a third time and finally I am selecting individual controls in the group ID 1241...
How can one un-nest this mess and get back to simply:
GRP: Base controls field FirstName Field Last Name btn: "Listing" etc. (some 40+ more controls)
Now, undoubtedly my ineptitude created this situation, but it seems that somehow the interface shouldn't allow one to get into such a fix... or at least provide an easy way out. If one tries to edit the interior group and paste these back into "Base controls" group... all data on all cards is lost, even though Base Controls is placed on all cards..
Of course one can export all the data, clean up the interface and reimport it... but this has happened before... how to get rid of the redundant groups and retain all data? Probably something simple I am missing here.
