Hey folks,
How do you interrogate a field position in VIP now? What I mean is, in the old days we used to use @FLD (i.e. IF @FLD = 13 ....). This still works, but it's more difficult to find out what the field numbers are now due to the way VIP lays the fields out on the screen. I either have to count down the screen, or put user messages into the fields first.
I thought the tagname could be interrogated, but can't seem to get it to work (i.e. IF @FLD = tagname ...).
The logic is on a button by the way.

Aaaah, you were close... try IF @CURFLDNAME = "tagname"
With VIP it can be harder to put FLD(@FLD + x) in code now, but maybe that's not such a bad thing.
At least the logic in new functions should be easier to understand with tags being used rather than something like FLD(@FLD + 15), or worse still, FLD(@FLD + #VAR) !
There is also @CURLSNAME for cycles if you need to check them by name.
Have fun
