Hi All.
I have a button that copies a label from one stack to another stack.

the code changes the name OK but I want to change the visible text in the label.

the code is
on mouseUp
global tFileName
copy field "LabelName" of stack "Armbase" to card 1 of stack tFileName
set the name of field LabelName of stack tFileName to field LabelNewName of stack "Armbase"
--the above is OK and copies the label and changes its name to the contents of a field
set the label of field LabelName of stack tFileName to field LabelNewName of stack "Armbase"
--this one above generates an error
end mouseUp

Two possibilities / suggestions:

1. did the line
set the name of field LabelName of stack tFileName to field LabelNewName of stack "Armbase"
change the name, such that the field can no longer be identified as
field LabelName

Yes the name did change. I thought that the label text would change with something similar.

Off to work now so i'll get into it later.

2. fields don't (AFAIK) have a "label" property - it should be
    set the text of ....
