set the itemDelimiter to tab
put "someInfo" into item 2 of line n of fld "someField"

On the other hand, if you're making many updates at once and the field contains a lot of data, it might be more efficient to put the field into a variable, update the variable and then put the variable back into the field.

Best,

Hello. I need to put a DB query result into a RunRev stack field which has tabstops at 62,123,282,467,606,822,911. I don't wish to just put the query result into the field as this overwrites all current information in that field.

I just want to update portions of this field. For example I would like to put "some information" in field "SomeField" between its first and second tabstops.

In some cases the query result would be a single number while in other cases it could be a short phrase.

I am stumped.
