Slightly off topic but to do with numberFormat. I have had some difficulties with this property which I have managed to get around. I needed to do some calculations and enter the result in a field limiting the number to two decimal places. Set the numberFormat to "0.00" works as documented. My difficulty came when I needed to do calculations within a repeat loop e.g.
set the numberFormat to "0.00" put 1 into i repeat 3 put "ETGUG" & i into x add fld x to fld "Answer" add 1 to i end repeat Because of the numberFormat instead of x being ETGUG1 as I had hoped because that is the name of the field thet I wanted, it becomes ETGUG1.00 and since there is no field ETGUG1.00 the script fails. As I said, I have managed to solve the problem by constantly changing the numberFormat property so this is not a pressing issue. However, it was messy and I thought that if it were possible to set the number format of the field this would simplify the process. I tried set the numberForma t of fld "ETGUG1" but, as documented, this does not work. Does anyone know if there is some way to accomplish this?
