Larry, it seems to work fine here, I tried LC 6.1.3 as I don't keep RC versions, but I'm also on a Mac, however, at least it proves the script sample is fine.

Maybe try swapping the "=" for "contains" e.g. if the label of button thisButton contains "?" then Paul On 2014-06-07, at 8:39 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Thank you Randy, but that's not the case here. > After I got your email, I triple checked.
