I was trying to preserve the syntax that is available for the actual contents of the field. Either way, the point here is that it is absolutely possible (with a little work) to implement presentational elements for a field's contents. Showing a number as a percent, for example, would also work. gc _______________________________________________ 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
