Let me get this straight. You are telling the program to go to a label in a data file? Not in the actual code? I may have misunderstood the code I saw, it usually takes me a while to get the gist of a bit of code.

If the above statement is true then I think I see the problem.

You need a little loop that reads a bit of the file and sees if it's reached the "label" yet, if not it should continue reading until it reaches it. If you use this procedure more than once you might have to close the file and open it again to begin reading form the top.

As I said, I may have got this completely wrong.

If you have any questions about any of our projects you can email any member of Cogworks at [email protected].
