You could use the built-in web interfaces. I believe FileMaker can
supply HTML or XML. This has the advantage of being silent as you
say, and cross-platform.

Hi Roger,
Not sure if you've gotten a response to this or not, but just in case
you haven't...
I seem to remember a problem where if the rect of a group overlaps a

Try recreating the field - sometimes a field can get corrupted and do
this sort of thing.

You may want to look at something like this:

if (item 3 of l is m) cancel (item 1 of l)

Check out closeStackRequest and/or shutdownRequest if you haven't
already. I've found that sometimes (on Windows especially),
depending on what's going on when you try to quit, it's necessary to
handle these messages and issue a quit command inside them.

In the stack script I am using both handlers

end closeStackRequest

cancel item 1 of line 1 of the pendingMessages
Ron,
The only way I found to do this is to get the loc (with mouseLoc) of the
arrow on the combo box, and then click at that loc.
