Dynamic Designation of Repitition Number

I've been using FP to run dispatch for my messenger company.

Is there any way to dynamically designate the repitition number of a repeating field when using it in a script? That is, can I use a formula result to choose which repitition I want to use? I've been unable to do this either with the Scriptmaker or Applescript.

No. Repeats of repeating field can not be designated via a variable. This seriously limits the versatility of repeatin fields, causing most of us to avoid them in any complex operations.

Shameless Plug: Our host, Ocean West, has developed an outstanding dispatch package. Take a look at www.themagnasoft.com

Thanks for the shameless plug; unfortunately, that software is inadequate for our purpose. I did come up with a workaround, which you can read all about on the FP 5 board.
