Craig, Not my situation but a good point.
I'm surprised that RR didn't allow for greater level of specification in where to look, as in Find tWord in field [or "veld"] "myField" of this card Jim > I assumed that you were talking about grouped "backGround" fields that also > would have had the same id.

You have to let LC do the work: > > > on mouseUp > lock screen > put the id of this cd into currentCardID > find yourString in veld nameOfYourField --can be a name now > if the id of this cd <> currentCardID then go cd id currentCardID > end mouseUp > > > Ugly, but works, and simple.
