referring to object names stored in variables

[dunbarx at aol.com]

The listBehavior makes no difference in my tests. I just never knew that the selectedLine was set upon clicking into a locked field.


This might be a disadvantage if you want to work when there is NO selectedLine. You get one anyway.That is what the clickLine is for. Thanks a lot.

I see. My "special version" was 4.6.2, since I had a lot of other work 
open in 4.6.3 when I tested. Apparently something changed. In 4.6.2 I 
get "no target found" when I run your script, which forced me to set the 
listbehavior.

In 4.6.3, it does behave as you say. I think I prefer 4.6.2 because it 
requires you to set up the field in a way that produces the expected 
behavior. Or else 4.6.x should fix it so all references produce the 
expected result.
