You are correct, and this is where I question the speed boost. On one hand you have the quicker run speed but on the other hand you have the increased amount of code due to lose of this dynamic.
There is no easy conversion of code and mindset between them.

What I mean is referencing an object dynamically like you can do with javascript/flash with the eval() function. For instance, in javascript/flash, if you have a set of fields, named field_1, and field_2, and so on to field_10, they could be referenced dynamically like so: for x = 1 to 10 eval("field_"+str(x)) = "some value" next x The same could be done in witango with a bunch of arguments, <@arg field_1>, and so on. <@for start=1 stop=10 step=1> <@addrows local$newArray <@arg field_<@currow>>> </@for> I don't believe this could be done in a compiled language. You would have to use a select case method or build an array of objects or something. Robert.
