Hi.
Can you trap "openStack" in a backScript (making sure that any other such message handlers pass it along), to get a list of the already open stack names, along, of course, with the name of the stack of interest, and see if any match?

With stack A already open, I open stack B and get a alert like this: "A stack "<substackName>" in file <fileName of stack A> is already in memory. The Revolution UI does not distinguish stacks which have identical names, so editing these stack files while both are in memory could result in data loss.” Is it possible by script to intercept the message that generates this alert, and rename either the substack that is already in memory or the substack of the stack I am trying to open, so as to avoid both the alert and the risk of data loss? My impression is that if I try to learn the substack names of a file I will already be loading that file into memory, and it will be too late to head off the alert. Many thanks.
