- Yer right, it's tedious. I am also looking for some fine solution to this
- feature. Apparently, variable definitions may only be simple (no compound
- defns using other variables), except for system-variables. That is, you
- can use a system variable in the definition of a user variable, but not
- a user-var to define another user-var.
-
- These same concepts seem to apply to the use of vars in autonumber tags.
- Requirements documents are an excellent testing ground for these bugs/features.
- Keep me posted on your progress. Good luck.
