Sorry Craig - I didn't mean LC stacks and cards. I meant conceptually, I could stack these items like cards - kind of the rolodex concept you pitched.

Have you thought of a "rolodex" style of interface? Craig So, I am planning to use tags to help organize these items, so I was thinking I could create stacks of items, by tag. Say I queried on tag A, I might have stacks of items that also contain Tag E, Tag Y and Other (3 stacks). Could help me lim...

OMG - let's try to stay on topic guys
Now I feel really stupid!

Craig - you are so smart. Yes, the data will be multi-line text. I want this to look/feel a bit like note cards. The number could become large and I will tackle how I will page through the data once I get through the interface. I could, I suppose, have a fixed number of visible cards and give the ef...

Hello LiveCoders! I have a new problem I hope you can guide me in solving. I have an image below to illustrate. I need to be able to query a database, and have text from matching records displayed in controls. I am using scrolling fields in the illustration. There is a scrollbar (which I haven't use...

Thank you Jacque - that looks like a good solution.

Sorry for the delay in this response - I have been working on other projects for a bit. I hope this is not insulting. I am a c# developer, so here is a reference link, in case you are not familiar with this concept. http://www.dotnetperls.com/enum I use this data type for a lot of different things, ...

Thanks Craig!
I was using startup, which shows up in the dictionary - maybe it is deprecated? I never could see the message in the message watcher.
so far openStack is working fine. Thanks!

If you want the 3 lines to be in 1 row the CRs need to be replaced with numToChar(11). I replaced the "return" with the numToChar(11) like you suggested. You are right, it displays it as one line in the grid. Problem is, it displays that way in all controls. I need this text to be multi-line in a c...

Hello LiveCoders! In my application I have some of handlers that were to be working until yesterday, but now the code never gets executed. I have gone through every part of LiveCode I can find, but I cannot figure out how to fix this. In particular, I have a startup handler in the script for my main...

The data wasn't created with code - it was from another source.

The screen shots show the issue. However, we will need to see your code in order to diagnose the problem and provide a solution. Try replacing the cr with numToChar(11), it's a soft return that keeps the line together. 11 is the ascii char Look up numToChar() in the dictionary. I have attached the ...

If you store a field that has CRs into the database it will show in the table on one line eventhough the CRs are still there. When you pull that data into the dataGrid the CRs come along too. Thanks Tom, Yes, I do want all the data, CR's and all. I just want to be able to select one row representin...

Here is the data in sqllite browser...

Here is how it is shown in the datagrid. The last 3 lines should be 1 row from the database.
