This made me get excited.

But when I did this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put cell 2,3 of fld "MENSA"
end mouseUp
it threw a bluey.

One might look at the "parent' thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=35555

The dictionary defines the word "cell", but only as part of the glossary, not as a keyword.

The idea is to try to identify a, er, "cell" in a table field, to access that area in order to change its backColor.

Well this is also a load of tum-tee-tum as well:

Code: Select all

put "XYZ" into cell 3,4 of fld "MyTable"

Richmond.

That is because "cell" does not exist in the language. 8)
