Best way to check if a Field is a label?

[Peter W A Wood]

Thanks, Hugh

I’m trying to find the best way to clear all the fields in which data can be entered on a card. At the moment I use this code:

repeat with y = 1 to the number of fields of this card
    if not the lockText of Field y then
      put empty into Field y
    end if
  end repeat

It works for my simple program but using a customProperty would be safer.

Regards

Peter
