Hi, So using real substacks being opened by go to from mainstack and then closing from substack returning to mainstack all working well, thanks for the previous suggestions.
Just found some odd behaviour :- The mainstack and substacks have items in PreOpenStack. The substack has for example, On preopenstack Set the foregroundcolor of fld “xyz” to red End preopenstack This works on the first pass of go to substack from mainstack. But if the substack is closed and go to substack from mainstack is used again the fld “xyz” is not found. To get round this I added the cd in the substack - fld “xyz” of cd “123” . Two questions :- 1. Is this the expected behaviour ? 2. Why does it work on the first pass without using - of cd “123” Regards Camm > On 29 May 2022, at 20:32, General 2018 <general.2...@outlook.com> wrote: > > Hi Jacquline, > > Think your question lead me to the issue. > > For some reason on the stack that did not work I added the substack by > opening the mainstack and substack and saving the substack into the mainstack > somehow. > > I started from new and added the substack by using the add stack file button > within standalone settings and it worked fine. > > > Regards > Camm > >> On 29 May 2022, at 17:27, J.
