I have a table object that consists of fields which serve as cells, inside of groups which serve as rows, inside of a group which is the table.
Each Row is named group mRow_1, mRow_2, mRow_3 etc... When you drag a row so that it is moved in between two other rows, its name is changed. Each row holds a customproperty describing the location of information in another stack. When you type in the other stack, the change is reflected instantly in the table. To do this, it goes to the table in question, and looks for the row containing the appropriate custom property, than changes the text in that row. It works great, and I cannot see any slowness. However, if I had a couple hundred rows, I think there would be some slowness with having to search for the appropriate row on every single keystroke. See, I cannot tell it to make a change to the row by its name without first searching for the row that contains that name, because its name may change as rows are added, deleted, or moved. I could do it by its altid property - but I don't trust altID - it makes me nervous because it is addressed through the same commands as the ID property. If it was addressed like this: Field altID 100 - well, that would work fine. But as it is set up right now, it can get confused between field id 100 and field altid 100. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Rossi Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 2:27 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: set rect of fld f1 of cd c1 of wd w1 to rect of fld f2 of cdc2 of wd w2 Recently, Lynch, Jonathan wrote: > I want more ways of addressing an object.

Currently you can address a field by its name, id and number. What need do you have that would require another form of address?
