Re: Ask function problem

Update, I have now discovered that the same problem with Ask is on all the cards now; they all DID work perfectly.

Re: Recent scripts list

The thread of 2024 was in fact mine !
But now I'm in a bind. Taking advice from the 2024 thread I deleted the preferences file C:\users\charles\appdata\roaming\runrev\preferences\livecode7.
Now I can't access my stack.
How can I run my stack CAsba accounts.livecode ?

Recent scripts list

Hi all,
My 'Recent Scripts' list is not updating; it appears to be full as the only change that it shows is the top of the list, all the script button references below the top one are staying the same. Is there a reset or something that I don't know of?

Underline first letter

Hi all,
Is there a way to underline the first character of a button's label ? In this case, an underlined 'N' at the beginning of 'Next' would indicate to the user that a keyboard shortcut is available (Ctrl + N).

Re: Problem with date

Hi Klaus,
I don't think I picked up a hint about systemdate in a previous thread..
I'm now trying to find how to change 24/3/25 into a systemdate (?) other than writing some complex script to move the dateitems of it to new positions.

Re: Problem with date

Thinking about this, it occurred to me that maybe, to convert, the date to be converted should be in the american format. I'll try playing with that.
