Perhaps you could change the calculated value list into a text field with auto-enter calculation (replace).

This might work for you or not, depending on what you're trying to achieve. After all, you are trying to break the rules here. There is a reason why FMP won't let you create the fourth VL. You might be able to fool it, but it also might backfire.

I want to populate rows in a repeating field using a loop in a script (Rows: first entry = number, second entry = descriptive name, subsequent entries are indexed names). This repeating field would be passed as a parameter to a subscript in another table. Here the contents of the repeating field would be shown in a 2-D format.

Filemaker 7 is supposed to support the repeating field structure. Unfortunately, I can't find script commands or functions that allow for a sequential entering or extracting of information from a repeating field (e.g. using a loop statement). Does FM7 not support the repeating field data structure?

Yep, lots of ways to skin a cat.

Oops, sorry Fluffy. blush.gif

A lot of my workarounds were rendered obsolete with the Get(CalculationRepetitionNumber) function in FM7. I haven't gotten around to using it for anything yet, so I still tend to think in terms of FM6 limitations.
