Bonjour Scott,

The rule is rather simple when working with long IDs or long names:
You *must* require a property :-)
<number of lines of> is not strictly a property but <number of lines of the text of> is because <text> is a property but <lines> is just a keyword. Regarding fields, it's a bit confusing because you can refer to their contents directly when using usual syntax.
Hope this clarifies :-)

I take the opportunity to point out another confusing thing:

SetScroll the long ID of img tImage will put the long ID in Setscroll param. But send "SetScroll" && the long ID of img tImage will put the text of the image in Setscroll param...
In such a case, here is a simple workaround:
send "SetScroll" && quote & the long ID of img tImage & quote
And Setscroll will check first if char 1 of the param is quote then delete it and the last one also. Note that the second quote is just there for reading consistency and is not actually necessary :-)

I'm having trouble remembering how to get Rev to see object references in
variables, as opposed to the variable data.  For example, if I script:

  put the long id of field 1 into tField
  put the number of lines of tField

I'll get '1' in the message box regardless of how may lines field 1
contains. I could have sworn there was a way to get this work without using
"do" or using "the text of tField".  Is my memory faulty?

Thanks & Regards,
