There is no property for the name of a text field, there is no way to

dynamically change the variable associated with a text field and there

is absolutely no need to have either.


If your text field has the variable set to Display you can easily set

the variable Display to equal another variable or series of variables.

In the following we assume you have a series of text variables with

names Text1, Text2 etc.


Set Variable: "Display" = Text1


Or set the Text display based on what Button you press

by placing a set variable in each button such as:

Set Variable: "Button" = "3"


Then call the text to be displayed with:

Set Variable: "Display" = Eval("Text" & Button)


The Eval function combines strings and then returns the value of that

string.

So it substitute Button with its value 3 and concatenates that with Text

and then that will be equal to:

Set Variable: "Display" = Text3
