Thanks for posting the query Raul, To my mind, most of the dictionary and tutorials go into far too much depth too quickly. As a former Visual Basic programmer (admittedly a long time ago!), I find HyperTalk a mystery! Probably my problem, but I'm convinced I effectively need to unlearn VB before I ...

Morning Klaus, I thought I'd post my final solution, just in case some other poor deluded soul ever comes to this thread looking for a solution to their problem! I still have no idea why the line of code following if gLabelName [myCount] is equal to "X" doesn't work (!!!), so I've side-stepped the p...

Hi Klaus, :-) I'll keep your comment in mind, but I've managed to get the set text of field myInstance to gLabelName to work now! My problem springs from this line: set the visible of field myInstance to false Which comes in the line immediately after the IF line statement. It just refuses to execut...

Hello Klaus ... hello World! I've managed to get most of the code working, with one exception! The script fails to make any array item in gLabelName equal to X invisible! From the best I can make out, the script is identifying when the array item = X, but then just ignoring the following line to mak...

Thanks Klaus, I'll be sure to check out your suggestions for resources too. I've inherited someone else's code so problem could lie there. Even if not, you've spurred a few additional thinks to try. Nice to be welcomed into the Forum, and especially appreciate the quick turn around in responding. Ch...

Hi Klaus, Interesting, as I had assumed my coding was at fault! When I run the card/script, the unwanted field controls (i.e. designated by 'X') are not hidden, and the text of the field controls that are shown is not updated in accordance with what's in the array. So my generic coding - set text of...

Hoping someone can give me a point in the right direction. :D I’m attempting to write some coding for labelling Function keys (F1-F20); naturally enough, the functions of the Function keys change, so the labelling needs to as well. Presently I have 20 “field” controls designated “F1lbl” to “F20lbl”....
