OK Jay,


I've had a bit of  a think about your problem.  Whenever a field has the figure "::" attached to it, it is a field from a related database, or layout and not a lookup.  This means that it is not part of the file you are looking at when you use applescript to refer to it.  As a result, you are getting an error because your reference to the field has an incorrect address.  “::VName” belongs to the database KNDSTAMM.  Your solution is to create a local field that contains the data "VNAME" in the database Offerten.  To do this, create a new Field in the database Offerten called "VNAME" and in the options select Lookup  make this lookup refer to the original field.  Instead of referring to ::VNAME from KNDSTAMM, you can now refer to VNAME in Offerten in your script, and it will work properly. 


Yours sincerely,
Peter J Baxter
