Hi Link76,

try

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   repeat with i = the number of fields down to 1
      if the short name of field i contains "ora" then delete field i
   end repeat
end mouseUp

note that you have to go down with your repeat counter because deleting a control will change the number of controls and you will try to delete a control that does not exist by that number anymore. Best to try it on a small example stack to see what happens.

Oh, and if you want to delete many fields you might want to lock screen and lock messages too.

Kind regards

Bernd
