A script question

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Charles,

First of all, do you actually have fields with the names: name2,  
examier2, vsmiFld, vsmiFld2, etc...
Then, though I agree that a repeat something like you tried should  
probably work, there are all sorts of potential problems in what  
you're doing. I don't like 'put "name2, etc..." ' into tNames and  
then trying to read each of the names as items in the repeat loop.  
Have you followed the script in the debugger to see that everything  
is where you think it is? I think this will point out your problem. I  
forgot to ask: do you know how to use the debugger?
