A field is A FileMaker Pro field. This means an object of the Database.
A cell is 'a field value in a record or request'. An object of the
current document. Don't as Filemaker for this info ask the document
"yourDocumentName" for it. Filemaker is very picky who you tell to give you
a piece of data.
