Hi Tom,

I think the engine is looking for a field with a quote
in its name. However, this gives me a chance to work
the wonders of the 'merge' function again :-)
Try the following script :
--
on preOpenCard
  repeat with v = 1 to 8
    put merge("field [[quote]]myLabel[[v]][[quote]]")
\
        into tFieldRef
    set the visible of tFieldRef to false
  end repeat
end preOpenCard

Hope this helped,
and now a bit less irritating ;-) :

You end with 2 quotes around the name of the field like ""field1""
(I doubt that the name of your fields do have QUOTES in their names...)
Script this:

on preOpenCard
  repeat with v = 1 to 8
     set the visible of Field ("myLabel" & i) to false
   end repeat
end preOpenCard
Hope that helps...
