I like that. :

To make it recursive you need an exit condition as well as a self call. Ie: If(x = n; result; do more work and call self) A simple switch will do.

Yes, When you select 'Unstored' for a calculation, the formula is saved but the values are not. This is a trade-off between file size and processor time, but it has other implications as well. If a value is stored it can be indexed and therefore used for value lists and relationship keys. Instored values can't. On the other hand, unstored values have the advantage that they automatically update constantly, so they are necessary in some circumstances, such as when a Status function, a global field or a related field is included in the calculation formula.

You are SHOUTING in capital letters because you do not like to admit you were wrong, wrong wrong. But what you are shouting is complete rubbish! I tried what you are suggesting here and you have WASTED my time!!! Custom value lists do NOT sort an item to the first position, whether you have ASCII sorting or any other sorting. Putting an # or any character at the front doesn't make any difference. Even your shouting doesn't make a difference!

We do not use the 'Get Field' function here, we are just use fieldname directly in formula. Have been doing this since before Get Field was available in 5.5 -- even for globals and relateds and always works. Get Field is good to determine which source field by calculation, but is not needed if just referencing same field every time.

There is no thin client for FileMaker, except runtime.

This is silly excuse. Anatoli is right! Application cannot hog clipboard. Operating system provides clipboard without priority to all applications. If windows gives priority to any application for clipboard, then it is operating system fault, not appliction fault. If driver or 3party application does not print because of operating system quirk then driver or app is not compliant with operating system. They are looking for somewhere to point finger for sure.

This is one interesting file, dilucaugo68, but is hard to understand. It seems you are temporarily swapping contents of different repetitions when button is clicked. But this could be confusing for user unless they know reason for it? Perhaps you could explain some more?? Thanks Nat

Well, at least I understood the bit about turkey! You're offering us tur(n)key solution, right??!
