no such object in step by step debugger

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi Mark,

I don't think so. TheField is just the short name of the field, that  
is in my case "Fv 4", NOT the long name.  Put field "Fv 4" into  
someVariable is quite correct, no ?
I should have called this variable "TheShortFieldName", sorry, but I'm  
lazy...
(I correct it for clarity's sake hereunder)
