Mark,
You don't need to include the quotes in your card name. The way you're doing it
the name is literally:
"Roberto Clemente"
So in effect you are asking LC to go to a card with the name that *includes*
the quotes.
Just leave out the quote constants:
put tFirstName & space & tSecondName into tUserName
Regards,
Devin
