OK. I've got it working. Thanks to Ken Ray for assisting me.
The problem was that the mouseUp message to go to a different card happened
before the closeField (it actually triggered it). I also removed the exit
closeField which now gives the answer box before it actually goes to the new
card. It still goes to the new card but the selectMe handler will get it back
to where it needs to go. I needed the "wait for messages" statement so that it
could finish the openCard handlers in the new card to finish before going back
to the Induction card.
on closeField
if vDate is a date then
else
answer error "Not a valid date. Retry?" with "No" or "Yes"
if it is "Yes" then send "selectMe" to me in 0 seconds
end if
pass closeField
end closeField
on selectMe
wait for messages
go to card "Induction"
select the text of me
end selectMe
