Forcing a variable to evaluate as an object reference

[Mark Schonewille]

David,

Does this work for you?

on yeschangeit
   global glanguage
   put "changing it now"
   repeat for each line i in field "langfields"
     -- put "field " & i into twhere
     get the Language[glanguage] of fld i
     put it into field i
   end repeat
end yeschangeit

Best ,

Mark
