Re: Save field text to file
Hi Adrian, Klaus has given useful advice already, but I want to add the following. You might want to set the filetype before saving a text file: set the filetype to "ttxtTEXT" put fld 1 into url "file:/~folder/file.txt" If you are making a small application or a stack of which you don't know whether it will include the internet library, you could also use the oldfashioned write statement: set the filetype to "XCELTEXT" put "~/folder/file.txt" into myFile open file myFile for write write fld 1 to file myFile close file myFile Best regards, Mark -- Economy-x-Talk Consultancy and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Get your store on-line within minutes with Salery Web Store software.

Re: Save field text to file
Hi Adrian, On the subject of Saving... can anyone give me some pointers about how to Save text from a field into a file with the extension .txt for example? The docs don't explicitly have anything about 'Save'. on mouseup put fld "your field here" into url("file:path/to/text_file.txt") end mouseup See the docs for "URL".
