I have a field name that will change eg fld "roll2" where the 2 is the same as the repeat loop number. what is the syntax for it. I tried fld "roll&n" but it doesn't work. I know its something like that. Any assistance appreciated

Hi Glenn Boyce,

Try this one: fld "roll" & n

Hi Glen,

you MUST put it in parentheses to avoid a "can't find object" error!
...
fld ("name" & N)
...

Hi,

actually, this should probably be: fld ("roll" & n). Otherwise, you get the text of fld "roll" (which doesn't exist) with n appended to it (but the script will never get that far because field "roll" doesn't exist).

Best,

Mark

Ohhhhh right right right! Forgot to include parenthesis...

Thanks team. Got it. I knew there was a simple way of doing it.
