    Please help with this(trying to call a value)

    Ok I am using a language called FAB Forms Automation Basic, it is close to VB but it uses other junk also check formdocs.com.

    Now here is my problem I know what to do in VB I think but I tried it and it didnt work here goes

    Look below here is a current print script I have.
    .PrintOut ([PageRange], [Copies], [Collate], [BlankPages], [PrintWhatForm], [RecordRange], [Printer], [PrintToFileName])
    here is what I am using of it which works fine.
    thisform.PrintOut (1,2)
    Problem is I have a field called Offcnt that hold a value, lets say it is the value of 4 and I want tht vlue to equalthe number of copies.
    so I really want it to look like this
    thisform.PrintOut (1,4)
    but I know that it is not that easy
    so I try to call the value but am getting errors.

    here is how it says to call the value
    .Value ([Cell])

    but everytime I try and use offcnt instead of cell it tells me its wrong.

    the only thing that works is to do this

    thisform.PrintOut (1,thisfield.value)
    but the problem with that is I dont want thisfield since it is a button and doesnt hold a value I want the value of offcnt?

    I tried this and got an error
    thisform.PrintOut (1,offcnt.value)
    saying offcnt is not an object?

    Can someone please help me,

    Thanks,
    Matt
