Scripting what should be a simple loop...

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi David,

Whenever you discuss something that involved an error, you really  
should post the error message together with your question. It helps.  
Really, it does.

Now to your answer. I am not exactly sure what to answer, because I  
don't know the error message, but I can make a guess.

It is recommendable to use arrays in this case:

repeat for i = 1 to 10
   put fld i of grp "AllFields" into tVar[i]
end repeat

Best regards,
