Yes, your solution worked. I think I found the inconsistency, as well. I suspect that failing to specify the field:
put the selectedText into userToDelete put the selectedLine into whatToRemove
(at least in the second line of the above code) fails to permit another portion of the code:
put word 2 of whatToRemove into theLine
to properly refer to the following line of code:
delete line theLine of field "users"
However, it fails -part- of the time but not all of the time; usually the first time it fails but immediately repeating the same handler makes it work. I suppose this could be a bug but I'm not sure how to word it in bugzilla. Perhaps I could word it as "Rev behaves in a inconsistent manner when presented with non-specific code", or "Stupid is as stupid does." ;-)
It should be noted that there is only one field on the card so, maybe, Rev is doing its best to help me accomplish what I intend but fails the first time (but not the second) because it can't get the reference to the field without my help. Perhaps the second time through it can deal with it. Very strange (but my fault and not Rev's).
In any case, I'm using your code (put the hilitedLine of field "users" into whatToDelete) in place of mine and it works properly.
Many thanks!
Regards, Barry

Hi Barry,
My guess would be that first time through, the selectedText & selectedLine are not defined. Perhaps clicking the button changed the selection. Here is how I would start:
put the hilitedLine of fld "users" into theLine put the selectedText of fld "users" into userToDelete
Then ask for confirmation and if confirmed, delete line theLine of fld "users"
Cheers, Sarah

I have a handler that deletes the selected line of a list (a field called "users"). However, it only seems to work the second time I run it, not the first. Here's the handler:
put the selectedText into userToDelete put the selectedLine into whatToRemove answer "Delete " & userToDelete & " from the student list?" with "No" or "Yes" if it is "No" then exit mouseUp else put word 2 of whatToRemove into theLine -- word 2 is the number of the line delete line theLine of field "users" end if
If I run it, nothing happens. If I run it again immediately thereafter, it does work.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Barry
