Hi Thierry:
It does exactly the same as my example - whether you put it in a button or
from the message box. It refers to the field object without the parenthesis,
and to the button object with parenthesis. This is due to the fact that the
parenthesis is evaluated before the rest, as I had hinted.

It may be bad practice to use the word field in the name of a field.
However, i suspect there's more to it.
Hi Bill:
This is just a quick example I contrived to prove a point.
I never use field for a field's name; I give (very) descriptive names to
my objects!

Hi Sri,
Try this:
on mouseUp
put the width of field Field1
put the width of (field Field1)
end mouseUp
but put this script in a button, not the message box!
This should give you the trick.

Thierry Douez -
The parenthesis placements are key in such references as they change the
order of command processing.
For example:
1. Create a button Test1 of width 82 (say)
2. Create a field Field1 of width 168 (say) containing the text: /button
Test1/
3. Type into message box
put the width of field Field1

First put the reference into a variable and then
Set the width of myVar to x
