Hi Rich,

If you've turned the field's vertical grid on, then
something like this should work fine :
--
on mouseUp
  answer file "Pick a tab-delimited text file"
  if it is empty then exit mouseUp
  put URL("file:" & it) into field "MyTable"
end mouseUp
--

Or is this what you're doing and is it producing
unexpected results ?
