I found the command Worksheet -t colRef colType to do so, but it requires a number for column type. As my program is set up, users can enter various column names at different times, so I won't be able to know where column Label1 is positionwise. Is there a way to return the number value of a column of colName? I wasn't able to find anything, so instead I tried to do this: for(i=1; i<=%(%C,@#); i+=1){ if(%(i,@C); == "Label1") colNum=i; } I used this to try and figure out the column number, but for whatever reason when I add the columns with the wks.addCol command, %%C,@#)evaluates to 2 rather than the 3 that there is. Why is that? [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
