Peter, you are right after closer examination with a clearer head, I realized I was doing it right. Once I figured out how the cards, sub-stacks and stacks all talked to each other and their hierarchy, I was able to do what I wanted to do and have full control over my variables and functions.

I think what you're doing is a perfectly good approach. You probabluy have a button on your first stack with a script that looks something like, go to stack "modalstack". Rigfht after that, you can call your datbase load funtion to refresh your database. You probably should have two ways for the

That works fine for me - as long as you put the card name and stack name in quotes. The other gotcha is that cards that say their name is "card id 1002" are lying; their name is really empty. In that case, use "copy card id 1….." etc. Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Jul 7,

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

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

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
