Hi Steve,

The best way to address controls by their name, is by
quoting the name :
  put the text of field "Foo" into bar

If you don't put quotes around the field name, the
engine will first look check if you passed it a number
; if so, it assumes you really wanted the 605th
graphic on this card.
If it is not a number (eg abracadabra), it will try to
find a variable named abracadabra, and see if there is
a field on this card with a name that corresponds to
the value of that variable.

Hope this clarified things a bit,

Jan Schenkel.
