Stack Switching Question again

[Mark Smith]

But you can still just refer to the data stack..

repeat with n = 1 to the number of cds in stack "dataStack"
   repeat for each line L in fld "somedata" of cd n of stack "dataStack"
     if L is whatImAfter then
        doSomethingWith L
     end if
   end repeat
end repeat

the point being that you can refer to, and work with any part of of  
your data stack without ever having to go to it.

Also bear in mind that refering to customProperties is many, many  
times faster than refering to the contents of fields.

Cheers,

Mark
