I'd generalize the responses, to say that it seems how the engine stores data and how it presents that data are not identical in all cases. Separately, it's interesting to hear that the engine (can) store(s) numeric values for strings, as an optimization. The above notwithstanding: sorry I outraged you; I'll exit this thread. _______________________________________________ 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
