Hi Richard and Jan Locking messages fixed the problem. This is a general purpose routine so I have to deal with any preOpenxxx and openxxxx handlers that might be in the stack. I think I will have to add code to close and re-open the stack after the renaming and setting of the main stack once I have unlocked messages.
Richard - do you think I should enter a QCC report for this then? It does seem like inconsistent behavior when compared to any other time a stack is opened by script.
