1. fill your menu with only the names. 2. later only save -> the menuhistory and not the "menupicked" item :-) Know what I mean? The menuhistory will give you the LINE NUMBER of the selected menu item. Will of course only work with sequetially numberd items. 8-) > Thanks, > Pascal Best Klaus -- Klaus Major http://www.major-k.de [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
