Well, if you copy data from HTML tables into Rev they won't appear properly since Rev can't display HTML tables (you should get tab-delimited info, though, so you can set the tabstops accordingly). You'll also get the font used in the external program right after the paste, so you'll need to be aware to reformat the data to correspond to the text attributes of your field. > I need to be able to drag and drop JPEG images from a screen capture > program onto a card. --never did this before? There's code on this tip you can use: Handling Drag-and-Drop From Outside Revolution http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/mous002.htm It shows how to drag and drop images either to an existing image object on your card, or onto the card itself (so it will automatically create an image object based on the drag). > I will need to have a summary card that contains a table of a line of > formatted info gathered from cards that meet certain criteria --no > brainer Right. > The problem I see is that in Rev all the cards have to be in memory > at the same time.

I would definitely store the images externally and just reference them inside the stack. You could also create an archive stack later on by programmatically cutting and pasting cards from the main prorgam stack to the archive stack and then saving that in a separate stack file.
