Hi,

Assuming that you only want to empty editable fields:

Code: Select all

repeat with x = 1 to number of fields
  if not the lockText of fld x then
    put empty into fld x
  end if
end repeat
Kind regards,

Or could use a custom property (via the object inspector), leaving the possibility to have both, fields to be erased and fields content to be kept.

Code: Select all

repeat with i = 1 to the number of flds of this cd
if the toBeErased of fld i is true then put empty into fld i
end repeat
