Hi Craig, You're right that the button wasn't fully qualified initially, but no error was thrown. That's another problem I've come across in preOpenCard - often errors just don't get thrown. Plus red dot break points don't trigger (although a breakpoint command does).
All in all, preOpenCard is a weird and strange environment. I plan to avoid it wherever possible in the future. In the project with the current issue, preOpenCard consist of a "hide stack" command and I've moved all my processing to openCard with a "show stack" command at the front (thanks to Geoff Canyon for that technique). I hate to have to resort to that type of trickery but I've spent way too much time debugging preOpenCard issues in the past.

Or at least it should have.
