Getting current line number of a table field.

[Tim Selander]

Hi Mike,

Thanks! I put the script in the table field itself with no luck. 
But when I moved it to the card script, it works! Great! I never 
would have come up with that in a million years.

This list is fantastic.

Oh, and I just re-named the table field to "Opera"  ;-)
