I know this is a long shot, but Is there any way to have Revolution 2.1.2 connect to an SFTP server? And if not, is SFTP protocol available on LiveCode? And if so, is there any sort of deal for being an educator who has used Revolution for years to provide his students with free homework systems rat...

Thank you, Jean-Marc. This should solve the problem.

Jean-Marc,

There is a replace command (and a replacetext command) in Revolution 2.1.2, but I don't see how I can use it to convert a table to a normal field or vice-versa.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm running Revolution 2.1.2, and I don't see that function in the documentation, nor does it work. Other ideas?

What would be a script for turning a field into a table, or vice versa. This is easily done in the Object Inspector, but I would like to be able to do this in a script.
Thanks,
David

Novice time: I am running Revolution 2.1.2 and just discovered the ability to convert a field into a table, and it was very easy to copy data from Excel and paste it into the table. The trouble comes when I try to change the data in a table: I cannot get the changes to stick. If I delete a row, it m...

I have a project with 4 separate writeable stack files, plus the main stack (which is not written to.) When I make a standalone for Windows, I get the main stack as an .exe app, plus the four writeable stacks as separate stacks. When I make a standalone for the Mac OSX, there is only one icon, and s...

Is there any way to have Revolution return the machine ID so that I can protect my application?

Thanks,

Thanks! It is annoying that 'resumestack' is not listed in the filtered list of messages in the Transcript language dictionary (Help).

I give up; this is probably so darn easy but:
how do you sent a message when you click on window to make it the top window. I've tried

end librarystack
but that doesn't work.

Thanks, Dave

I am running Rev. 2.1.2. When I created a new mainstack as you suggested, its Windows standalone displayed the dialogs. I simply transferred all the scripts and objects over to the new file and it now works properly. (I was getting "false" using your script in the standalone from the original file.)...

Even though I am careful to check the "Ask Dialog" and "Answer dialog" boxes under the Inclusions tab when setting up a Windows standalone in the Distribution Builder, those dialogs do not appear when I run the standalone in Windows. Any ideas?
