*balloon Shop *..tableCellValue(game.store, 1, 1)

To display the first row and column, you would use tableCellValue(tableName, row, col). So if your table is called game.store then it would be tableCellValue(game.store,1,1). Be sure to select game.store from the attribute browser rather than typing it in.

To concatenate (join) text to the result, make sure the text is in quotes:

"balloon shop "..tableCellValue(game.store,1,1).

Are you using a Mac or PC?

It's best to post in the "Working with GS (PC)" sub forum then. I'll move this for you.

You can upload a screen shot to a file-sharing site and then embed or post the link here.

I Just had a similar issue with my tables and I can tell you right now, it's the space just before your number ones. ..tableCellValue(game.store, 1, 1)

Delete them and your problems are over. Seems GS doesn't like spaces... who knew?

Thanks
