It's now happening with Windows 10. The Windows log registers every event as follows: Faulting application name: TekProtect.exe, version: 6.4.2.0, time stamp: 0x6102893c Faulting module name: Print.PrintSupport.Source.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1806, time stamp: 0x02b082be Exception code: 0xc0000005 F...

The only thing I can think of is the subkeys are not numbered, they are named. Bingo. A name may include alphabetic characters or numerals or punctuation or any combination of those. But it only has one name. I just looked back through the other programs I've produced with Livecode and I can see nu...

I know you had a lot of responses and sent a lot of replies, but did you see this response from Axwald, which might be the one that explains your dilemma?

I did, thanks. But it's going to take me a little while to comprehend it all.

...I got the routine cmdCursor2Array from these pages but here it is too: command cmdCursor2Array pCursor, @pOutArrayA ## Get the names of all the columns in the database cursor put revDatabaseColumnNames(pCursor) into theFields if theFields begins with "revdberr," then put item 2 to -1 of theField...

Someone suggested it would be good to know how the array is created. on mouseUp mouseButt if mouseButt = 1 then if gvConnectID is not a number or gvConnectLite is not a number then cmdConnect end if // Go get the last run time put the prFile of this stack into tvFile put the effective filename of th...

Maybe then you can see if there is anything different to the array then you expected that could explain the outcome of your script? This has helped me working with array's. Regards, Paul The only thing I can think of is the subkeys are not numbered, they are named. But I assumed indexing them with ...

Well, we are at least getting somewhere. When you do step through, does the very first line: put myArray[x][1] into tvMake put anything into tvMake? ... Craig No. However, after reading everyone's comments I think we may be circling the problem. Could the "indexing" problem be due to having named k...

I just tried bogs' statement below and it returns "true." Not to take undue credit, the statement actually was modified directly from the dictionary example :wink: Fortunately, it appears you are at least starting with a real array. Did you also check it before you start running that loop? (Same co...

Would this work? repeat for each key tKey in myArray put myArray[tKey] into tLineData put tLineData[1] into tvMake put tLineData[2] into tvModel put tLineData[3] into tvCompName put tLineData[4] into tvProdNum put tLineData[5] into tvSerial put tLineData[6] into tvOSName put tLineData[7] into tvPro...

The symptoms described for both cases would be met if the variable myArray is not actually an array. How is that variable populated? It's populated through a query to the database. When I step through each line myArray shows up in the variables section as an array. In other words it has 71 numbered...

I agree, both seem fine for an array. And yet one will not run at all and the other assigns no data to the variables. Do you have any thoughts on that? It seems Livecode is really buggy. I had a problem a while back that every "answer" statement would cause the stack and the IDE crash and no one had...

Hi all... As usual, I'm hoping this is some quirk of Livecode that has a simple fix. I'm writing a routine that updates our company database with data from the SQLite db file associated with our remote support software. The database calls are working fine and the result (using test parameters) is an...

Once again, Klaus to the rescue. Although my data source was much different from this example I was able to get it to work by making logical assumptions to restructure the code. Thanks so much!

Hi, shell commands often return "terminal-formatted text", with spaces and CRs - so I always test if something is somewhere in the result: if "No" is in tvState then Have fun! Thanks! There are so many ways to accomplish the silly task that I totally missed. I'm happy you folks are here to set me s...

Thanks everyone for chiming in. I'll take things in order: First, Dunbarx: Sounds like you are a bit farther along than "complete beginner". :wink: I drifted away from coding when .NET came along. I was too damn old to jump into that pool with all those youngsters. Visual Basic kept me fairly busy f...
