"Number Edit Box" in JMP 8?

Question

Hello - I wrote a script in JMP 9 to extract data using a modal dialogue box.  When my colleague runs the script in JMP 8, she's getting an error related to the use of "Number Edit Box":

This is the error:  "Name  Unresolved:  Number Edit Box in access or evaluation of 'Number Edit Box" , Number Edit Box ( 2010 )"

Using JMP 9, it works fine.  in the modal box, I use this statement:

YYYY = Number Edit Box ( 2010 )

and then after the modal box is closed, get the data with this statement:

dyear = YYYY << GET;

Is there a way to do this in version 8?

Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Thanks for the reply.  I actually found an even better solution....I was able to get her to upgrade to 9.0, so problem averted!

I believe Number Edit Box was not available in JMP8. Use Text Edit Box instead..
