Nilsdalby	Posted - 12/13/2014 : 10:39:30 AM Origin 8.6, windows 8. Hi This is most likely a very minor syntax detail, but: Im trying to set type for a column to X (type = 4)in a script. However, the column has a name (ValuepA), not a number, and all examples ive seen of this require the column to be adressed with an integer. How can i 1) get the col no, or UID of that column from the present string, or 2) use the string-name to set type ? Thanks, Nils

cpyang	Posted - 12/13/2014 : 12:08:56 PM Use the range notation, like this: range myCol=col("Measurement Time"); myCol.type=4; Basically, LabTalk object column can be accessed either using the wks.coln notation, or you define a range variable to refer to it. Range variable allows you to refer to a column in any book sheet, like: range AA=[book3]"Experiement A"!col("Start Time"); CP
