Joe,
This will add the X in one shot before each field for you.
on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields of card 1
set the name of fld x to ( "X" & x)
end repeat
end mouseUp
It might be easier to think of 1 and "1" as reserved words in this
instance.

Hi Mark,
And thanks. I kind of suspected that was probably the case, but we
all like to save keystrokes when we can; particularly when there are
a lot of them. Incidentally, the pointer tooltips plug-in 2.0 that
Chipp recently released provides the field names as I had designed
them "1", "2", etc. and no where does anything lead one to suspect
that Rev is parsing these names as "layer" numbers. Though I can,
obviously, accept things as they are, in my opinion Rev is dead
wrong. Must be some backward compatibility issue with MetaCard; but
not liking the prospect of changing the names for a whole bunch of
fields; guess I'll just add an "x" in front of each one.

Hi Joe,
Are you using "1", "2" etc. as field names? That's wrong.
Revolution parses these names as numbers, regardless of the quotes.
You must add some characters to make sure that Revolution parses
the name as a string, e.g. "Val 1", "Val 2", etc.
You can refer to these fields in a repeat loop or other script like
this:
repeat with x = 3 to 7
add fld ("Val" && x) to myTotal
end repeat
-- do something with myTotal here
I think that saying "I shouldn't have to" is a little inappropriate
in this particular case, even though it might apply to many other
workarounds.
