Thankya Mike and Jacque. That's a relief! I had unhappy visions of laboriously re-creating a corrupted stack. Sadly, I can't figure out how to import icons from the icon library into my stack. You won't believe this... The first thing that popped into my head was "resedit" Okay, I guess I figured it out by trial and error, probably did it wrong, but it worked. Something about development: image library. Never noticed that item before. A couple of little images, about right for the icons I want, are now sitting at a random location on one of the cards in the stack. So now when I set the icon, I can use image library:this stack. I can see the little images there. Before I was using image library: standard icons. What do I do with the little images I imported? Set the visible to false, hide them under a field, or can I delete them now, because they are used in a button? Should this be standard procedure? I never thought about importing images for icons. Normally, when I make a new button and want an icon, I just use the icons & borders popup. The stack and buttons are working normally now. > Version 5.5 has a new file format and older versions of LiveCode can't read > it. > > Open your stack in 5.5.

Maybe I should read the "what's new" document. I don't recall seeing one, but I didn't look for it very hard.
