Hi John,

Thanks. Jim observed the same thing a little earlier; but, as I mentioned then, I'm pretty sure I had tried it "correctly" earlier on, and just messed up while diddling around. Though there may have been some other problems, since my touch typing doesn't always produce exactly what I think it should, though I've now pumped up the font size for my scripts so that these problems won't continue to occur. It's easy to get frustrated when things like that happen. I appreciate the patience and attention from all of the listers. The error feedback COULD BE a bit more helpful. Sometimes you almost have to be a mind reader. (smile)

Hi,

I haven't read all the replies on this one but did notice in your script fragment

put quote & "lineNum"&"H"&quote into fldName -- creates a field

that lineNum is quoted eg "lineNum". That will always put the literal string lineNum into the container rather than the value of lineNum. Just drop the quotes and the concatenation should work.

Hi Joe,

OK, Phil. I wasted about an hour fiddling with this. It just
wouldn't compile. The result was always lineNumH instead of "1H"
for the first line when it is clicked on.

-- I have a scrolling field with a bunch of numbered phrases.on mouseup
put word one of the value of the clickline into lineNum --
provides number w/ a periof
delete last char of lineNum -- deletes the period
put quote & "lineNum"&"H"&quote into fldName -- creates a field
name such as "1H"
send mouseup to field fldName -- sends the mouseup to the
appropriate field

I might be a bit late, but anyway, try this:

## in case this is a list field you can could also use:
## put word one of the selectedtext of fld "xyz" into lineNum
put word one of the value of the clickline into lineNum --
provides number w/ a periof
delete last char of lineNum -- deletes the period

## sometimes brackets are highly recommended, especially when creating
## object names with variables!
put (lineNum &"H") into fldName

## creates a field name such as "1H" and DOES now :-)
send mouseup to field fldName -- sends the mouseup to the
appropriate field

Good luck and TIA,

Joe wilkins
