If you are setting up a DB, I imagine that you are
going to be creating entry fields (like "name" etc..)
If this is the case it is an easy process.
1. create a field on stage
2. name the field (say "bob")
3. make the field editable
4. create a simple line of Lingo to capture field text
foo = member("bob").text
To put the text variable of foo back to a text or field member
simple use : put foo into member("textmember")
Hope that's what you're looking for.

Subject: <lingo-l> Dir 8.5: Text Entry / Display
I work with Authorware and I'm quite new to Director. I've been asked to
setup the database design and get the DB I/O running. Everything is just
fine regarding the DB but no-one can tell me what to do to handle text
entry!!!????
Sew.
How do I setup to receive and store keyboard entry to a variable.
How do I put the contents of a variable back to screen data entry area.
TIA
