The DG and the field are in a substack. The field saves just fine. The DG will not even allow itself to be written to. My button script says, in essence, set the dgText of myDG to random(99), and put random(99) into fld myField. The field gets a new number, the DG just sits there. Of course, the IDE stack works fine. That is why I wondered whether the issue was saving or not. Since the DG data does not change, maybe in fact it IS saved, but since it is not ever changed, I misinterpreted the problem.

That seems unfair. Unfair compared to what? AFAIK no modern OS lets an executable modify itself. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
