Initially posted this in the Media forum, oops!

I'm trying to put data into a table field, without binding it to a database. It looks easy enough and I came up with the following:

on mouseup
put "A Smith&tab0121 345654&tab08/11/2007 09:41" into field tblCalls
end mouseup

The idea being that this would spread the data across the cells. However, even if I just try to put something simple in there, it just doesn't accept it, I get an error "No such object"

Any ideas? There appears to be no documentation about tables.

Hi Andy,

you need more quotes and "&"s!

...
put "A Smith" & tab & "0121 345654" & tab & "08/11/2007 09:41" into field tblCalls
...

This presumes that tblCalls is a variable that hold the actual name of the field!
If that is the name of the field then you need to put quotes here, too!

...
put "A Smith" & tab & "0121 345654" & tab & "08/11/2007 09:41" into field "tblCalls"
...

TAB is NOT part of the string that you are composing to put into the field "en bloc" afterwards.

You can also specify the line you want to put this string into, just in case there is already data in the field. The command above will always replace the complete content of the field!

...
put "A Smith" & tab & "0121 345654" & tab & "08/11/2007 09:41" into line 3 of field "tblCalls!
...

Hope that helps.
