Re: jumping among Mainstack and substacks isn't easy

The mouseup message accepts one parameter, which is the number of the button pressed, normally 1 (left-click) or 3 (right-click). You can't pass other info along with the message, you have to build up your data inside the handler, as you in fact do with the stuff below that works. On Jun 19, 20

Re: jumping among Mainstack and substacks isn't easy

Mark, You don't need to include the quotes in your card name. The way you're doing it the name is literally: "Roberto Clemente" So in effect you are asking LC to go to a card with the name that *includes* the quotes. Just leave out the quote constants: put tFirstName & space & tSecondNa

Hi, Still here with newbie frustration and needing to move along. So, This works for me in a button. on mouseUp tUserName put "Roberto Clemente" into tUserName put "Present on" && the short english date & return after field "Attendance" of card tUserName of stack "Kids" end mouseUp

Re: jumping among Mainstack and substacks isn't easy

The debugger is your friend here. Insert a breakpoint and then step through your code to see what your variables *really* contain. If your variable is "Roberte Clemente of stack Kids", then in the words of an old and wise farmer, "You can't get there from here". You are saying that there is a ca

jumping among Mainstack and substacks isn't easy

Hi, My database for camper kids is progressing, but some newbie head scratching is in full force. Cards in a mainstack keep contact info and attendance details, one card per person. This seems to be working fine, except when I jump to different substacks. Then an error occurs. Case in point: I am
