I have to pass several strings to a custom DLL, and also sometimes to a CA type 19. There seems to be no way to do this via the string table, which rather makes a mockery of multi-language support. Does anyone know a way? (You can pass a property, or a string literal, or in the case of a CA 19 an index into the error table - but then you get the same problem - how do you get a string into a property? I know you can use scripts, but IS sripts are non-standard, may compromise logo qualification in the future, add greatly to the size of the package and slow it down, so I would rather do without. I've also tried many combinations of {{, [[, [{, {[ etc - to no effect). Any ideas?

You can add the string to a property in the property table.
eg.
Name YourPropertyName
Value ##YourStringTableName##
Alternately you can add the string to the UIText table but it is a little harder to retrieve the string from there.
Hope this helps.

Oh - can you? That's one thing I hadn't tried! Do you mean enter the property value as {MY_STRING} ? - well, I guess I can experiment!
