Thanks to all who responded. I learned some interesting things and
adopted a better solution than the one I had. (Phil, your solution was
just what I needed!)
Mark, I was trying to use the arrow keys to move across columns of
fields where no useful field naming convention exists but the stacking
order is identical between groups. ie. from control x of grp A to
control x of grp B.

Hi Scott,
To find the relative layer of a control whose name is unique to the
current card, his will work:
put (the layer of control "abc") into tObjectLayer
put (the layer of the owner of control "abc") into tGroupLayer
put (tObjectLayer - tGroupLayer) into tObjectRelativeLayer
I broke it into 3 statements to prevent line wrapping - you could do
it all in one line if so inclined.

Well, actually there is, but it's a bit of a kludge -- if you're "in"
the
group (i.e. the same as clicking "Edit Group" on the toolbar in Rev),
you
can ask for the layer of a field and it will give you the stacking
order for
that field in the group.
So you can:
1) Select the group
2) Go into "editbackground" mode
3) Get the layer of the field you're interested in
4) Exit "editbackground" mode
Like this:
select group "myGroup"
start editing group "myGroup"
put the layer of field "TestField" into tLayer
set the editBackground of the topStack to false
answer tLayer

Scott-
if you're looking for a specific button in a group, try something like
if the hilitedButton of group "gpFilter" is 6 then
...but you've got a group of *fields*? I've used groups of fields but
then just referred to the fields by name, i.e., field "x" of group
"abc". What problem are you trying to solve?

I'm wondering if there is an easier (faster) way to discover the
stacking number of a specific field within a group (the control's
stacking number just within that group) without using a repeat
structure to step through all the controls in that group, checking
each
one to see if it is a match.
