Morning James
First let me apologize for referring to Acrobat JavaScript as Java - an
inexcusable Faux Pas on my behalf.
Thanks for the advice IT WORKS !!! I had thought about this routine briefly
and dismissed it because my
fields were already named e.g.: kit.name.1, kit.name.2, kit.name.3,
kit.city.1, kit.city.2 etc.
Somehow I thought the .name and .city would crash with that routine but
seems I was wrong.
Thanks again
Marc
