replace fails in script

Folks,

Has anyone noticed a bug where the "replace" command fails within a script?

I have a script which does a find to select a subset of records, and then does a Replace Contents [No Dialog, "field", """" ]. The Replace just doesn't happen. No error, no nothing. If I run the script in the debugger, step by step, it *does* work, so something is clearly amok.

Any suggestions on diagnosing/fixing this? Is there some time when the Replace will fail? I can reproduce at will.

Thanks,

David.

The field to be replaced must be located on the 'current' layout or else it will fail. I would assume your script is switching to a layout with the field on it or else it wouldn't fail in the debugger. Is this correct?

You stand correct - I thought of this right after I posted, tested, and that fixed the problem!

I really wish these things wouldn't fail silently...sigh....

Thanks.
