It *matches* the names in the first line to already-existing names in the header and puts the data into the matching column, if it exists. That makes some sense, and even offers a lot of flexibility. But it certainly isn't intuitive, and there's no way I could have gotten that from the lessons online. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
