Hi Craig, sorry been busy. I can't get my emulator to run...never have. I believe these things react differently on separate devices. I'll read you comments later. If i don't figure this out soon, I'll just do it in Filemaker. Should take about an hour..top end. I am a filemaker guy, just trying to ...

i was thinking after reading a bit that if i can isolate the "separater" line by say using "if theLineNo mod 4 = 0 then hilite the 3 lines above that line. if not then find that line somehow. Or group the triplet as said it was and then hilite it.

ok will do. my wife thinks i'm nuts. first thing i do when i get up is look at this. lol

That line did give me some slack at first but then stopped. Anyways i posted a pic of what i have on the screen. As you can see when i click on one line it displays one line, going back to some earlier posts, i would like to have it light up all three lines (that is a chunk i think) and display the ...

Yes and it works fine. If added some data of mine. I don't understand the random click thing, so i added this to the field\ on mouseUp #do "put random(99) into" && the clickText select the clickLine put the value of the clickLine into textOfClickedLine answer textOfClickedLine #answer line word 2 of...

i have to apologize. Firstly, i'm not trying to jump the gun you are a yoda, im the student. My mistake in saying csv. my data is tab delimited as that is the way i read to do it. secondly, there is not typing into fields, merely static data..display only. Im the only one. I get it in pdf or excel t...

Indeed it is a very cool technique. I played with it..change colors, the html line code to 95 (looked nicer) and its width. Now some questions. 1)It appears as if I have to format the data from the csv before hand. I can do that with excel no problems..is this true or is there some other trick up yo...

right cool! I can't look in depth now as i am at work but later and im stoked now..perhaps as much as you were when making it..lol

After looking and reading about table fields, I don't see how I could get the data to look anywhere like my first pic. Can that be done with a table field?

Dave

i will read up on it and i will give it a shot...can't learn if i don't try. Ill keep you posted.

Thanks for the help.

Nope, the app will be used by parents only and the dancers. The judging is done separately. As it is, the books as mentioned earlier, just show the dance and time etc. see pic attached. There is a date at the top of the page not printed. See the bottom act has numerous dancers.

Each stack contains one or more sets of information called cards. Each card can have a different appearance or all the cards in a stack can look the same. By going from card to card in a stack, you change what's being displayed in that stack's window. that is from the how to structure you app. So i...

Ok, i have another project that i want to do at a later time, so I am doing this for the learning aspect. Makes sense, just import a tab delimited file into the grid. now you have me thinking. Is this the approach i should be taking. I want the user to click on a row and see the current info on anot...

By "do others access the data" do you mean via other electronic means then no! There is a pdf version of the book that each studio gets. I got a copy last year by asking the studio director. I wanted to see if the pdf could be exported to excel or excel extracted from the pdf, but either way it was....

The times you see are not calculated. they are from the data...in this case, the time of that particular dance. What is happening is my daughters go to these dance competitions and get some program book with 60 pages of dances in it. pain in the ass to find my daughters dances out of 1200 dances. an...
