Calling for database error

How would I call for an error, for instance on a revExecuteSQL database call? For some reason it is not writing to the database and I am trying to figure out what is causing it to fail. SKIP ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com P

Re: Passing functions from stack to stack

Realizing that I probably setup my project wrong after Colin's explanation, it presents me with another basic question as I find myself needing to re-organize things. Using the Application Browser or any other technique, can I move a card from one stack to another? I now realize I do not need that

Re: Passing functions from stack to stack

The order is more complex that that, but it's all analogous to having external cast libraries and MIAWs. You might use a sub stack for storing resources that are needed by the main stacks of multiple projects you're working on, rather than always copy and pasting into each new project. Cards a

Passing functions from stack to stack

Excuse my novice approach here but I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole stack, substack and card concept. I understand how they work in general but do not fully understand how they communicate between each other. For instance I have a stack and a substack. Each has a card. The fir

Re: Meatball protected stacks :-)

I'm willing to give it a go. Is there data other than than scripts, inspector palette properties, and custom properties that should be options? In the meantime, there are some custom property values that I just don't want to hardcode in scripts. I guess my only option is to encode them somehow.

Our help desk software, Spiceworks requires a pound sign # before the command in order for it to be treated as such. Because of that you can put commands anywhere in the body. Seems like a better way of doing things. Bob On Jul 6, 2012, at 12:51 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > On 7/6/12 2:43 PM,

I was somewhat surprised to find that it is possible to access the Inspector palette for any objects in a password protected stack without supplying the password. I guess it's OK but there could be information stored in custom properties that you would not want a user to see. Now I know, I guess

Hi all. I've been reading recent discussions here about saving substacks in standalones and have a few followup questions. Here's the plan: The app is for Mac/Win/iOS and will use a stub (splashscreen) as the main stack. I'll put the app logic code in a substack and use another substack as a tem
