Omnis refusing to change $top of a field

Hey Michael,

The field I’m moving is the same field each time, I’m adding other
fields to the window and they have their own names.
I’ll try using the ident but even a correctly set item reference to the
field doesn’t seem to make a difference..

Cheers,

Bas
