HI,

I have tried to create a status button (disabled and coloured as I want) and also a field because I thought maybe you can't do what I want to do with a button.

Here is what I want to do.

I have 3 cards I have created a field lets call it status i have made it into a group called grpStatus

I was under the impression that if i changed the label (if it was a button) or the field text in one of the status fields it would change it in the others.

I know I can program it to do it but isn't there a setting to do that or am i asking to much.

the simple minded minded way is to have a stack / library script that I call and that basically set the field on each card. Is there a better way?

Regards Lagi

See the sharedText field property.

And though not directly useful here, while you're in the Dictionary you may find it helpful to learn about the sharedHilite button property too.

Thanks Richard

Worked a treat.

I now remember that I used this over a year ago when I was trying out stuff ... but never needed it till now. I found it by accident before but couldn't see it this time, your a lifesaver.
