Hi Chipp,
You are using "put" with a variable so "fred" is put into the  
variable tID.
When using a variable to reference a field you need to:
set the text of tID to "fred"

Or the dreaded "do":

  do "put" &&quote& "fred" &quote&& "into tID"

Setting the text is easier.

Of course if you're dead set on putting the text, you could always do  
this:

on mouseUp
 put the long ID of fld 1 into tID
 set the disabled of tID to not the disabled of tID
 put "fred" into fld the short name of tID
 put tID
end mouseUp

;-)
