When the user clicks on the exposed portion of a field that is overlapped, I would like to bring the field closer so that all of it is visible. I wrote the following script to do this but it SLOW (about 4 - 5 seconds on an SE/30 with 4 megs of memory). Does anyone out there in netland know a faster way to do this? -- itemLayer contains the field number lock screen choose field tool click at the clickLoc -- loop to bring the field up to a certain layer repeat while itemLayer < field "fieldNum" doMenu "bring closer" add 1 to itemLayer end repeat choose browse tool unlock screen Thanks in advance Andrew Warinner | "Semper ubi sub ubi" - J.
