I still consider myself a newbie. Up until now I have used this list to ask
questions when I get stumped. This question was educational for me too. Up
until now I would have scripted the above like this
put "name2,examiner2,vsmiFld2,ci1,vsmiFld3,vsmiFld5,vsmiFld4" into tNames
repeat with R1 = 1 to num(items) of tNames
put "" into fld item R1 of tNames
end repeat
Is there any advantage in the other method or is it just another way of doing
the same thing? Revolution is great in that there’s usually several ways of
doing something and most of the time that’s the point, Still I’d like to be
the most efficient.
Thanks again to all the people that contribute so much time to make this so
very helpful. I’d be lost without all of you.
