Ah yes, forgot about that! I looked in Sarah's date routines and found what
I'm looking for BUT - it says the base date is January 1, 4713 BCE and
SQLite says the base date is 11/24, 4714 BC, a few months after Sarah;s base

Maybe I'll just give it a whirl and see what happens.

I think the switch control structure is pretty handy for this. If you put all
the conditions that will not require a break at the top, then the program will
flow down through your conditions and only execute the code inside your case
statements if the conditions are true. Towards the end of the

It seems so. I had tried it in a button handler, to see if it persisted. It did

Greetings,
LiveCode's datagrid seems kind of sticky to me. I'm simply trying to open

EditFieldText, EditValue, EditKey and EditKeyOfIndex. EditFi
I set a debug breakpoint in the preOpenCard handler of the only card in a Main
stack, save it, then quit and rerun that main stack. The code doesn't break
at that point and I'm certain it's being executed. Is there a known problem
with break points in these circumstances?
Thanks,
Pete Hawor

The examples are excellent. I think you should add a user note to the

parentheses rather than using the minus sign, so (£1,234.56) = -£1,234.56.
