Hello,

I know this is a rather strange issue but I’m trying to print data built from a function in a specific frame w/out actually going to the frame.

I can easily print data from a frame w/out being in that frame but I need to call a function to build the data in that frame before it’s printed.

Is this possible?

Thanks,  
Clem C
