Hi, Still here with newbie frustration and needing to move along.
So, .... This works for me in a button. on mouseUp tUserName put "Roberto Clemente" into tUserName put "Present on" && the short english date & return after field "Attendance" of card tUserName of stack "Kids" end mouseUp But this does NOT work, I guess, because I am wrongly building the tUserName so that tUserName is not valid in the script.. on mouseUp tUserName, tCharCount, tFirstName, tSecondName get word 1 of field "Filtered_Results" put it into tFirstName get word 2 of field "Filtered_Results" put it into tSecondName put quote & tFirstName & space & tSecondName & quote into tUserName -- put tUserName into msg box -- Works fine, shows "Roberto Clemente" put "Present on" && the short english date & return after field "Attendance" of card tUserName of stack "Kids" end mouseUp - - - other notes: - - executing at 2:02:27 PM Type Chunk: can't find card Object Here & Present Line put "Present on" && the short english date & return after field "Attendance" of card tUserName of stack "Kids" Hint mouseUp - - - I've tried building that card name temp var all sorts of way, and no luck with me. Help greatly desired.
