RunRev has a long history of forgetting to include the AppleScript disctionary resource into new builds. I'm not sure why this hasn't been automated, but it's happened before, and if you drop them a note they'll be able to fix it for next time. For now, just copy the resource from an earlier

Perhaps a script is put into the front scripts. For example, you mentioned a preOpenCard and openCard being defined in the stack. If the stack was put into the front scripts, then it would block those in the card. Or it could be something else put into the front scripts. You could (in mes

Roger. Something in your stack. I made a six card stack with: on preopencard put the number of this cd into fld 1 end preopencard on opencard put space & random(99) after fld 1 end opencard No issues. Matters not if you switch the order of hanlders. Check the messagewatcher? Craig
