I somehow stumbled upon
N Items()
in the Scripting Index by sheer luck, no telling how many are less fortunate than me, but this simple task doesn't work for a column that is, I don't know what the right word is, accessed? by
col = Column(dt, "Col Name");
it throws
N Items() argument must be a list
and proceeds no further.
Once again, a slew of Google searches with various substitute words only gives very complicated computer scripting problems as hits, not what I am looking for.
